What is Understanding Neonatal Icterus and Jaundice about?
Neonatal icterus, or jaundice, is characterized by yellowing of the skin due to increased bilirubin levels, affecting 50-60% of newborns. It can be physiological, occurring after the second day of life with bilirubin levels less than 15 mg/dL, or pathological, presenting within the first 24 hours with higher levels and potential complications. Treatment focuses on preventing neurotoxicity, with options including hydration, light therapy, pharmacological treatments like phenobarbital, and blood transfusions
