1. neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

   Neonatal jaundice is a yellowish discoloration of the white part of the eyes and skin in a newborn baby due to high bilirubin levels. Other symptoms may include excess sleepiness or poor feeding. Complications may include seizures, cerebral palsy, or kernicterus.In most of cases there is no specific underlying disorder (physiologic). In other cases it results from red blood cell breakdown, liver disease, infection, hypothyroidism, or metabolic disorders (pathologic). A bilirubin level more than 34 μmol/L (2 mg/dL) may be visible. Concerns, in otherwise healthy babies, occur when levels are greater than 308 μmol/L (18 mg/dL), jaundice is noticed in the first day of life, there is a rapid rise in levels, jaundice lasts more than two weeks, or the baby appears unwell. In those with concerning findings further investigations to determine the underlying cause are recommended.The need for treatment depends on bilirubin levels, the age of the child, and the underlying cause. Treatments may include more frequent feeding, phototherapy, or exchange transfusions. In those who are born early more aggressive treatment tends to be required. Physiologic jaundice generally lasts less than seven days. The condition affects over half of babies in the first week of life. Of babies that are born early about 80% are affected. Globally over 100,000 late-preterm and term babies die each year as a result of jaundice.

1. neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

   Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a medical condition that commonly occurs in newborns, where there is an excess amount of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellowish substance that is produced when the body breaks down old red blood cells. It is normally processed by the liver and excreted as bile. However, a newborn's immature liver often can't remove bilirubin quickly enough, causing an excess amount to build up in the body. This excess bilirubin can cause the baby's skin and whites of the eyes to take on a yellowish tint, a condition known as jaundice.
