| Abstract | Fetal RBCs are produced during a period of very rapid growth and stimulated erythropoiesis under hypoxic intrauterine conditions. Fetal RBC life span varies with gestational age (GA) and is shorter than that in healthy adults. Due to the special kinetic properties of life span-based survival of human RBCs, a mathematical model-based kinetic analysis of the survival of fetal RBCs shortly after birth provides a unique opportunity to “look backward in time” to evaluate fetal erythropoiesis. This work introduces a novel method that utilizes postnatal in vivo RBC survival data collected within 2 days after birth to study both nonsteady-state (non-SS) in utero RBC production and changing fetal RBC life span over time. The effect of changes in erythropoiesis rate and RBC life span and the effect of multiple postnatal phlebotomies on the RBC survival curves were investigated using model-based simulations. This mathematical model, which considers both changes in the rate of erythropoiesis and RBC life span and which accurately accounts for the confounding effect of multiple phlebotomies, was applied to survival curves for biotin-labeled RBCs from ten anemic very low birth weight preterm infants. The estimated mean fetal RBC production rate scaled by body weight was 1.07 × 10$^{7}$ RBCs/day g, and the mean RBC life span at birth was 52.1 days; these values are consistent with reported values. The in utero RBC life span increased at a rate of 0.51 days per day of gestation. We conclude that the proposed mathematical model and its implementation provide a flexible framework to study in utero non-SS fetal erythropoiesis in newborn infants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
