Neonatal Jaundice Impact Factor

Neonatal jaundice is commonly observed in newborns and needs medical attention. In newborns, the symptoms are yellow skin and sclera colouration. These occur because unconjugated bilirubin accumulates. It is a normal process of accumulation of unconjugated bilirubin in infants but in some cases the bilirubin levels increase and become neurotoxic to infants leads to death. Thus newborns should be regularly diagnosed. Treatments of neonatal jaundice may include more frequent feeding, exchange transfusions or phototherapy. The primary symptom of a newborn baby is yellowish discolouration of the white portion of the eyes and skin. Other signs can include prolonged sleepiness or poor feeding.
