Abstract

Haematocrit (HCT) and viscosity of whole blood were measured in ten polycythaemic hyperviscous newborn infants both before and after dilutional partial exchange transfusion with 5% albumin. This was performed in order to evaluate the effect on the lowering of HCT and whole blood viscosity. Mean umbilical HCT values decreased from 68.7% before, to 54.4% post transfusion. This decrease in HCT and viscosity was highly significant (P<0.001). Safety and lack of complications make human albumin solution superior to human plasma for exchange transfusion in neonatal polycythaemia.
