AB  - The  normal  hematocrit  of  a  healthy  term  infant  ranges  from  45%  to  61%.  This  relatively  high  red  cell  mass  is  an  adaptive  response  to  the  hypoxic  intrauterine  environment.  Neonatal  polycythemia,  an  abnormal  elevation  of  red  cell  mass,  is  most  often  defined  in  textbooks  as  a  venous  hematocrit  of  65%  or  more.  It  occurs  in  1.5%–4%  of  healthy  live  births.1  Passive  erythrocyte  transfusion  and  increased  fetal  red  cell  production  are  2  major  causes  for  neonatal  polycythemia.
