NEONATAL JAUNDICE IMPACT FACTOR

Neonatal jaundice is that the term used when a newborn has an excessive amount of bilirubin within the blood. Bilirubin may be a yellowish-red pigment that's formed and released into the bloodstream when red blood cells are weakened .
sorts of Neonatal Jaundice
• Physiological Jaundice
• Pathological Jaundice
Physiological jaundice
Physiological jaundice occurs within the first few days after birth and can have cleared by day 10.
It occurs due to physiological changes happening during the transition from intrauterine to neonatal life. this sort of jaundice is that the consequence of immature liver enzymes and high red cell mass.
Other Factors which can increase Physiological Jaundice
• Prematurity
• Bruising
• Polycythemia
• Breastfeeding
Pathological jaundice
Pathological jaundice refers to jaundice that arises from factors that alter the standard process involved in bilirubin metabolism within the liver. it's significant within the first 24 hours of life especially if there's Rhesus incompatibility.
It may persist quite 2 weeks in some conditions when the baby are going to be jaundice everywhere and should appear a muddy yellow color.
The aim of the management of neonatal Jaundice is:-
To prevent bilirubin encephalopathy (kernicterus) developing as a results of high levels of serum bilirubin.
Treatment of underlying conditions.
Maintenance of hydration and nutrition.
