Neonatal Jaundice
Visible form of bilirubinemia
Adult
sclera >2mg / dl
Newborn skin >5 mg / dl
Occurs in
60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates
However, significant jaundice occurs in 6 % of term babies

What is the Neonatal Jaundice?
Neonatal Jaundice(also
called Newborn jaundice) is a condition marked by high levels
of bilirubin in the blood.
The increased bilirubin cause the infant's skin and whites of the eyes(sclera) to look yellow.
Слайд 5NJ -
Teaching Aids: NNF
Special characteristic in neonates
1)More billirubin produced
Much more hemolysis
The life-length of hemolysis(70-80)
2)The low capability
of albumin on unconjugated billirubin transportation
Acid intoxication
Less albumin in neonates

Physiological jaundice
Characteristics
Appears after 24 hours
Maximum intensity
by 4th-5th day in term & 7th day in preterm
Serum
level less than 15 mg / dl
Clinically not detectable after 14 days
Disappears without any treatment
Note: Baby should, however, be watched for worsening jaundice
Слайд 9NJ -
Teaching Aids: NNF
Why does physiological jaundice develop?
Increased
bilirubin load
Defective uptake from plasma
Defective conjugation
Decreased excretion
Increased entero-hepatic circulation

Pathological jaundice
Appears within 24 hours of
age
Increase of bilirubin > 5 mg / dl / day
Serum
bilirubin > 15 mg / dl
Jaundice persisting after 14 days
Stool clay / white colored and urine staining clothes yellow
Direct bilirubin> 2 mg / dl

Risk factors for jaundice
JAUNDICE
J
- jaundice within first 24 hrs of life
A - a
sibling who was jaundiced as neonate
U - unrecognized hemolysis
N – non-optimal sucking/nursing
D - deficiency of G6PD
I - infection
C – cephalhematoma /bruising
E - East Asian/North Indian

Common causes
Physiological
Blood group incompatibility
G6PD deficiency
Bruising
and cephalhaematoma
Intrauterine and postnatal infections
Breast milk jaundice
Слайд 17NJ -

Approach to jaundiced baby
Ascertain birth weight,
gestation and postnatal age
Assess clinical condition (well or ill)
Decide whether
jaundice is physiological or pathological
Look for evidence of kernicterus* in deeply jaundiced NB
*Lethargy and poor feeding, poor or absent Moro's, opisthotonus or convulsions
Слайд 18NJ -

Workup
Maternal & perinatal history
Physical examination
Laboratory tests
(must in all)*
Total & direct bilirubin*
Blood group and Rh for
mother and baby*
Hematocrit, retic count and peripheral smear*
Sepsis screen
Liver and thyroid function
TORCH titers, liver scan when conjugated hyperbilirubinemia
Слайд 19NJ -

Management
Rationale: reduce level of serum bilirubin
and prevent bilirubin toxicity
Prevention of hyperbilirubinemia: early feeds, adequate hydration
Reduction
of bilirubin levels: phototherapy, exchange transfusion, drugs
Слайд 20NJ -

Principle of phototherapy
Native bilirubin Photo
isomers of bilirubin
Insoluble Soluble

Phototherapy
Technique
Perform hand wash
Place baby naked in
cradle or incubator
Fix eye shades
Keep baby at least 45 cm
from lights, if using closer monitor temperature of baby
Start phototherapy
Слайд 24NJ -
Teaching Aids: NNF
Phototherapy
Frequent extra breast feeding every 2
hourly
Turn baby after each feed
Temperature record 2 to 4 hourly
Weight
record- daily
Monitor urine frequency
Monitor bilirubin level

loss
Loose stools
Skin rash
Bronze baby syndrome
Hyperthermia
Upsets maternal baby interaction
May result
in hypocalcemia

Choice of blood for exchange
blood transfusion
ABO
incompatibility
Use O blood of same Rh type, ideal O cells
suspended in AB plasma
