Neonatal Jaundice
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Jaundice is the most common morbidity in the first week of life and it is the commonest cause of readmission in the neonatal period. It is a multifactorial disorder with physiological jaundice being the most prevalent cause. However a high index of suspicion should be kept for detecting the pathological forms of jaundice. The prevention, detection and management of jaundice remain a challenge because of early discharge of healthy late preterm and full term newborn infants. This review article aims to introduce jaundice in the neonatal period, its types and causes, measurement of bilirubin level (established as well as the newer methods awaiting approval) , clinical approaches towards jaundice and different remedial therapeutic measures for its treatment.
