background: hyperbilirubinemia, or jaundice, is a life threatening disorder in newborns. it is a multifactorial disorder with many symptoms. generally, the physiological jaundice is the most prevalent type however in some regions pathological jaundice is also common. this review article focuses on a brief introduction to jaundice, its types and causes, measuring the bilirubin level, clinical ap...

This study examines abnormal LFT (mainly bilirubin) on postoperative day three as a predictor of open cardiac surgery mortality.1 Preoperative hyperbilirubinemia, high right atrial pressure, number of heart valves replaced and high blood transfusion requirements are risk factors predicting postoperative hyperbilirubinemia in 81% of all patients.2 This study strictly excluded high-risk condition...

INTRODUCTION Hyperbilirubinemia is a common manifestation of infectious disorders during the neonatal period. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the serious bacterial infections with hyperbilirubinemia among newborn infants. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to identify the early predictive risk factors of UTI in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia, to prevent its long-term complications...

OBJECTIVE Direct antibody titer-positive, blood group A or B neonates who are born to group O mothers may be at risk for hemolysis and hyperbilirubinemia. Immunoglobulin G1 and immunoglobulin G3 subclasses are associated with increased hemolysis relative to immunoglobulin G2 and immunoglobulin G4. We investigated whether identification of immunoglobulin G subclass 1 or 3 may be predictive of he...

Abstract: Hyperbilirubinemia is frequently found in newborns, especially low birth weight (LBW) infants (less than 2,500 g). an increase bilirubin higher 5 mg/dL which clinically manifests as icterus. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between LBW and incidence of hyperbilirubinemia well underlying mechanism. was a literature study. Article searching used databases Pubmed Google Scho...

Background: Prediction of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is very important for early treatment and prophylaxis of neurologic sequels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive role of umbilical cord ^5-fetoprotein (UCAFP) as a marker of an increased risk for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in full term babies. Methods: Umbilical cord blood was collected from 400 term singleton full t...

Background Hyperbilirubinemia occurs in 60% of full term and 80% premature infants. Phototherapy is the main treatment, but it has side effects, sometimes requires hospitalization, causes baby to be separated from mother. Underdeveloped gut microflora increased enterohepatic circulation newborns contribute serum bilirubin levels early life.
 Objective To assess efficacy adding probiotic L....

Serum bilirubin concentrations are increased in several hematological and hepatic disorders; however, hyperbilirubinemia, often of familial origin, may occur without overt signs of hemolysis or evident liver disease. The authors review briefly the main steps of hepatic bilirubin metabolism, then discuss the pathogenetic mechanisms of the different forms of familial hyperbilirubinemia. The knowl...
