Kernicterus
Kernicterus also will occur when unconjugated bilirubin can reach levels toxic to the infant’s brain (generally 18mg/dL). Symptoms of non-life threatening kernicterus can range from deafness to severe mental retardation.

Hydrops Fetalis
Beside that, Hydrops Fetalis will occur as the baby's organs are unable to handle the anaemia. The heart begins to fail and large amounts of fluid build up in the baby's tissues and organs. In severe forms this can include petechiae and purpura. The infant may be stillborn or die shortly after birth.
