Hyperbilirubinemia and Kernicterus
Clinics in Perinatology, 2006This article describes new findings concerning the basic science of bilirubin neurotoxicity, new considerations of the definition of clinical kernicterus, and new and useful tools to diagnose kernicterus in older children, and discusses treatments for kernicterus beyond the newborn period and why proper diagnosis is important.

Summary Thus the newer hyperbilirubinemias stem from an increasing knowledge of the factors involved in the breakdown of red blood cells, their enzyme systems, the component amino acids used to produce both the red cells and the degradation products.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971
The effect of a 44- to 48-hour fast on the serum bilirubin concentration was studied in five normal subjects and in five patients with hepatic dysfunction. The total serum bilirubin (TSB) concentration increased progressively during the fasting period in all patients; expressed as a percent of the control value, it averaged 240% for the normal subjects

Hyperbilirubinemia in the Newborn
Pediatrics In Review, 2011After completing this article, readers should be able to: 1. List the risk factors for severe hyperbilirubinemia. 2. Distinguish between physiologic jaundice and pathologic jaundice of the newborn. 3. Recognize the clinical manifestations of acute bilirubin encephalopathy and the permanent clinical sequelae of kernicterus.4.

Evidence of bilirubin-related brain damage has been reported in infants with kernicterus discharged as healthy from well-baby nurseries. Lapses in care have been attributed as root causes for kernicterus in an era when there should be no barriers to safe and effective bilirubin reduction strategies.

Hyperbilirubinemia and cholestasis
The American Journal of Medicine, 1978Although the morphologist continues to describe cholestasis on the basis of precipitated bile seen on light microscopic sections of the liver or dilated canaliculi with loss of microvilli seen by electron microscopy, the physiologist can distinguish clearly between hyperbilirubinemia and cholestasis.

Pediatrics, 1969
I read with interest the obervations of Dr. Milby and his co-workers (Pediatrics 43:601, 1969) regarding seasonal variations in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The differences between the two hospitals in the yearly fluctuation of the bilirubin levels is intriguing and raises a question about possible etiology which might bear consideration.

Pediatric Clinics of North America
The majority of newborns is affected by jaundice after birth. While most jaundice is physiologic, severe hyperbilirubinemia can lead to serious complications, such as chronic bilirubin encephalopathy. Hyperbilirubinemia typically results from increased bilirubin production, impaired clearance, excessive reabsorption, or a combination of these factors ...

Phototherapy in Hyperbilirubinemia
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1971An abnormally high level of bilirubin in blood serum in the newborn can cause severe brain damage. In the past, the only available treatment for this hyperbilirubinemia was exchange transfusion, which carried dangers of its own. In recent years, however, an alternate treatment, phototherapy, has also become available.

Dr. Thomas H. Milby, et al., of the California Department of Public Health1 described a significant (p. < .01) seasonal variation in the incidence of neonatal nonhemolytic unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, observed in a hospital in a small, predominantly agricultural Californian community during a 4-year observation period (1963-1966).
