Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1976
This article discusses the production, transport, and excretion of bilirubin in the newborn period. The causes, significance, and treatment of unconjugated and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia are different; and because this is so, it is important to review the main causes and management of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia in

Phenobarbital for neonatal jaundice
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970T H I S C O M M E N T A R Y is prompted by an increasing number of inquiries as to whether it is now indicated to treat hyperbilirubinemia with phenobarbital during the first week of life. In 1968 Catz and Yaffee 1 demonstrated that the conjugation and excretion of bilirubin could be increased significantly in newborn animals by giving sodium barbital ...

Pediatrics In Review, 1994
Jaundice in the newborn has presented a diagnostic challenge to clinicians for millennia. Because virtually every newborn infant has an elevated serum bilirubin in comparison with the normal adult and more than 50% are visibly jaundiced during the first week of life, the physician's first challenge is to differentiate pathology from variations within ...

Phototherapy for Neonatal Jaundice
Clinics in Perinatology, 1991Exchange transfusion for severe neonatal jaundice is a tedious and expensive procedure with high morbidity and mortality rates, and is followed by a prompt and marked bilirubin rebound. It has largely been replaced by phototherapy, which though more gradual in its effect results in a prolonged reduction of the bilirubin concentration.

NEONATAL JAUNDICE AND KERNICTERUS
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1954THE PURPOSE of this paper is to examine critically the available data bearing on the pathogenesis of kernicterus. During the past decade and a half, knowledge of the etiologic importance of incompatibility between the blood groups of the fetus and the mother has expanded rapidly.

Neonatal Jaundice and Phototherapy
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1972The ready availability and simplicity of phototherapy make it an attractive means of effectively lowering serum bilirubin concentrations or preventing them from rising. Its simplicity has, however, led to a casual approach to its use, which should not be encouraged.

Phototherapy for Neonatal Jaundice
New England Journal of Medicine, 2008A male infant weighing 3400 g was born at 37 weeks’ gestation after an uncomplicated pregnancy. The mother is a 24-year-old primipara who has type A Rh-positive blood. The infant’s course in the hospital nursery was uncomplicated. Although his mother needed considerable help in establishing effective breast-feeding, he was exclusively breast-fed ...

Management of Neonatal Jaundice
The Nurse Practitioner, 1986Jaundice is the most commonly encountered neonatal clinical problem; 80 percent of neonates become clinically jaundiced, while 5 percent develop serum bilirubin levels above currently recommended treatment standards. This article outlines theories about the pathophysiology of neonatal jaundice and presents a logical approach to its management.

BMJ clinical evidence, 2011
About 50% of term and 80% of preterm babies develop jaundice, which usually appears 2 to 4 days after birth, and resolves spontaneously after 1 to 2 weeks. Jaundice is caused by bilirubin deposition in the skin. Most jaundice in newborn infants is a result of increased red cell breakdown and decreased bilirubin excretion.We conducted a systematic ...
