  2. Neonatal jaundice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_jaundice

    Neonatal jaundice is a yellowish discoloration of the white part of the eyes and skin in a newborn baby due to high bilirubin levels. [1] Other symptoms may include excess sleepiness or poor feeding. [1] Complications may include seizures, cerebral palsy, or kernicterus. [1] In most of cases there is no specific underlying physiologic disorder. [2]

  3. Neonatal cholestasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_cholestasis

    Neonatal cholestasis refers to elevated levels of conjugated bilirubin identified in newborn infants within the first few months of life. [1] Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is clinically defined as >20% of total serum bilirubin or conjugated bilirubin concentration greater than 1.0 mg/dL regardless of total serum bilirubin concentration. [2]

  4. Lucey–Driscoll syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucey–Driscoll_syndrome

    Lucey–Driscoll syndrome is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder affecting enzymes involved in bilirubin metabolism. [1] It is one of several disorders classified as a transient familial neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. [citation needed]

  5. Hemolytic disease of the newborn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_disease_of_the...

    Signs of hemolytic disease of the newborn include a positive direct Coombs test (also called direct agglutination test), elevated cord bilirubin levels, and hemolytic anemia. It is possible for a newborn with this disease to have neutropenia and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia as well. [citation needed] Hemolysis leads to elevated ...

  6. Hemolytic disease of the newborn (ABO) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_disease_of_the...

    If the bilirubin level is sufficiently high as to cause worry, it can be lowered via phototherapy in the first instance or an exchange transfusion if severely elevated. [citation needed] Phototherapy - Phototherapy is used for cord bilirubin of 3 or higher. Some doctors use it at lower levels while awaiting lab results. [19]

  7. Neonatal hepatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_hepatitis

    The infant with neonatal hepatitis usually has jaundice that appears at one to two months of age, is not gaining weight and growing normally, and has an enlarged liver and spleen. Infants with this condition are usually jaundiced. Jaundice that is caused by neonatal hepatitis is not the same as physiologic neonatal jaundice. In contrast with ...

  8. Hemolytic disease of the newborn (anti-RhE) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_disease_of_the...

    Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDN) is a condition where the passage of maternal antibodies results in the hemolysis of fetal/neonatal red cells. The antibodies can be naturally occurring such as anti-A, and anti-B, or immune antibodies developed following a sensitizing event. [ 12 ]

  9. Tin mesoporphyrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_mesoporphyrin

    It has also been found that tin mesoporphyrin can aid in the prevention of neonatal jaundice. When administered to pre-discharge newborns who were at risk for neonatal jaundice the results showed a decrease in total biliverdin load, the possibility of postnatal bilirubin progression, as well as the use and duration of phototherapy.
