Neonatal Jaundice: Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention
Received Date: Jul 01, 2025 / Published Date: Jul 29, 2025
Abstract
Neonatal jaundice, characterized by hyperbilirubinemia, is a common condition requiring careful management. This review ex plores its pathophysiology, distinguishing physiological from pathological causes. Diagnostic methods, including TSB measurement and reticulocyte counts, inform treatment strategies like phototherapy and exchange transfusion. The immature neonatal hepatic system contributes to bilirubin accumulation and neurotoxicity risk. Genetic factors, breastfeeding, and pathological conditions like hemolytic disease can exacerbate jaundice. Kernicterus, a preventable neurological complication, is a significant concern. Non invasive screening tools and emerging therapies like albumin are discussed. Evidence-based guidelines and systematic reviews guide best practices for preventing severe hyperbilirubinemia and ensuring infant well-being.
