[Chronic fetomaternal bloodtransfusion with signs of heart failure (author's transl)]. 1979

F Waldhauser, and G Simbruner

A case of chronic fetomaternal bloodtransfusion with signs of heart failure is described. More than 200 ml blood were lost into the mother's circulation. Heartfailure did not fully account for the marked enlargement of the liver and the slight splenomegoly, so that reactivation of the extramedullary erythropoesis presumably was an additional causative factor for it.

D004920 Erythropoiesis The production of red blood cells (ERYTHROCYTES). In humans, erythrocytes are produced by the YOLK SAC in the first trimester; by the liver in the second trimester; by the BONE MARROW in the third trimester and after birth. In normal individuals, the erythrocyte count in the peripheral blood remains relatively constant implying a balance between the rate of erythrocyte production and rate of destruction. Erythropoieses

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
