At Parvathi Hospital, we understand the complexities of high-risk pregnancies and are committed to providing advanced care for mothers and babies facing unique challenges. Intrauterine transfusion (IUT) is a specialized procedure that can significantly improve outcomes in pregnancies affected by severe fetal anemia.
Fetal anemia is a condition where a developing baby has a low red blood cell count. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, and a deficiency can lead to serious health risks for the fetus, including:
IUT is typically used when fetal anemia is caused by:

As with any medical procedure, IUT carries some potential risks, such as infection, bleeding, or prematurity. However, our experienced team takes all necessary precautions to minimize these risks.
The number of IUTs needed can vary depending on the severity of the fetal anemia and the baby's response to treatment. In some cases, multiple transfusions may be required throughout the pregnancy.
The possibility of a normal delivery depends on various factors, including the reason for the fetal anemia and the overall health of the mother and baby. Your doctor will discuss your delivery options with you in detail.
