چکیده

Abrams, B. A., Gutteridge, J. M. C., Stocks, J., Friedman, M., and Dormandy, T. L. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 721. Vitamin E in neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia. The polyunsaturated red cell lipids ofnewborn infants show a greatly increased susceptibility to autoxidation; and this may be a contributory factor to 'physiological' haemolysis. Vitamin E administered by mouth during the first week of life in relatively large doses reduced the susceptibility of red cells to autoxidation, but had no significant effect on the pattern of plasma bilirubin or haemoglobin changes.

Management of late-preterm and term infants with hyperbilirubinaemia in resource-constrained settings

Hyperbilirubinaemia is a ubiquitous transitional morbidity in the vast majority of newborns and a leading cause of hospitalisation in the first week of life worldwide. While timely and effective phototherapy and exchange transfusion are well proven treatments for severe neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia, inappropriate or ineffective treatment of hyperbilirubinaemia, at secondary and tertiary hospita...

Evaluation of neonatal indirect hyperbilirubinaemia at Zanjan Province of Iran in 2001-2003: prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

INTRODUCTION Neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia, defined as a total serum bilirubin level above 5 mg/dL, is a frequent problem. This condition accounts for up to 75 percent of hospital readmissions in the first week of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the aetiology of indirect hyperbilirubinaemia and the prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in newborns who ...
