What is Understanding Neonatal Jaundice Causes about?

Neonatal jaundice, seen in 60% of term and 80% of preterm babies in the first week of life, is caused by an accumulation of unconjugated bilirubin which can become neurotoxic if levels are too high; physiologic jaundice resolves by 1 week while pathologic jaundice requires treatment such as phototherapy or exchange transfusion to reduce bilirubin levels and prevent harm. Risk factors, causes, evaluation, and management of both physiologic and pathologic neonatal jaundice are described.
