DefinitionYellow discolouration of the
skin ,sclerae or mucous membrane due to elevation of serum bilirubin
It is usually become mores apparent at a total serum bilirubin level of 5 mg/dl

Jaundice is observed during the 1st wk
in approximately 60% of term infant
and 80% of preterm infant.
Hyperbilirubinemia can be toxic, with
high levels resulting in an
encephalopathy known as kerni-cterus
![Page 4: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Increased production in neonate due to larger red cell volume, which produces bilirubin as cells are broken down and shorter RBC life span, so broken down faster.
Heme is catabolized within the reticuloendothelial system by heme oxygenase to form biliverdin.
Biliverdin is metabolized to bilirubin in the presence of biliverdin reductase

Ligandins responsible for transport from plasma membrane to endoplasmic reticulum.
Bilirubin conjugated in presence of UDPGT (uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferase) to mono and diglucoronides, which are then excreted into bile canaliculi.

Icterus neonatorum (physiology jaundice)The most common form of indirect jaundice
in infants under 14 days of age between 24-72 hours of age, peaks by 4-5 days in term and 7th day in
preterm neonates and disappears by 10-14days of life.
It is predominantly unconjugated and levels usually do not exceed 15 mg/dl.
caused by increased bilirubin production with transient limited conjugation abilities
![Page 11: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Increased rbc’s
Shortened rbc lifespan
Immature hepatic uptake & conjugation
Increased enterohepaticCirculation
![Page 12: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Breast Milk jaundice develops after the first 4-7 days of life
Increased enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin due to (1) increased content of beta glucuronidase activity in breast
A diagnosis of breast milk jaundice should be considered if the serum bilirubin is predominantly unconjugated, other causes of prolonged jaundice have been excluded and the infant is in good health, vigorous and feeding well and gaining weight adequately
![Page 13: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Breast feeding jaundice Occures in the first week of life and is
caused by insufficient production or intake of breast milk.
Jaundice in breast-fed babies usually appearsbetween 24-72 hours of age, peaks by 5-15 days of life and disappears by the third weekof life.
![Page 14: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pathologic jaundice Appearance of jaundice within 24 hours, increase in serum bilirubin beyond 5
mg/dl/day, peak levels above the expected normal
range, presence of clinical jaundice beyond 2
weeks and conjugated bilirubin (dark urine staining the clothes)

Elevated unconjugated bilirubinGenetic Disorders
Crigler-Najjar▪ 2 types▪ Severe hyperbilirubinemia
Gilbert Syndrome▪ Mild hyperbilirubinemia
Hypothyroidism
![Page 19: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Crigler-Najjar syndrome is elicited by a lack or deficiency of the enzyme uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase (UGT).
Type 1 Crigler-Najjar syndrome is associated with an almost complete absence of the enzyme, which results in very high levels of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (up to 50 mg/dL) at birth.
Lower levels of serum bilirubin (up to 20 mg/dL) and markedly depressed activity of hepatic UGT are characteristic of type 2 Crigler-Najjar syndrome
![Page 20: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Elevated unconjugated and conjugated bilirubin (> 2 mg/dL or > 20% of TSB)
Biliary Obstruction Structural defects – I.e. biliary atresia Genetic defects – Rotor’s & Dubin-Johnson

Jaundice below umbilicus, corresponding to serum bilirubin of 12-15 mg/dl (200-250 mmol/L).
Jaundice up to level of the sole of the feet - likely to need exchange transfusion.
Jaundice within 24 hours of life. Rapid rise of serum bilirubin of more than 8.5
mmol/L/hour (>0.5 mg/dl/hour). Prolonged jaundice of more than 14 days - other
causes/conditions need to be excluded e.g. neonatal hepatitis, biliary atresia.

Look for signs of sepsisPresence of lethargy, poor feeding, failure to thrive, hepato-splenomegaly, temperature
instability or apnea may be a marker of an underlying serious disease.
Look for signs of intrauterine infection –rashes ,Hepatosplenomegaly , SGA
Look for any signs of kernicterus

When a neonate is jaundiced, the yellow discoloration of skin first appears on the face
and it progresses to the trunk, to the palm of the hand, and then the sole of the feet-ie cephalo-caudal progression.
The intensity of yellow discoloration correspondingly increases from the face caudally as the severity of jaundice increases.
Jaundice can be detected by blanching the skin of the neonate with digital pressure exposing the colour of the underlying skin.
![Page 32: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The severity of neonatal jaundice is assessed clinically using Kramer’s chart based on dermal zones of neonatal jaundice, where the levels of serum bilirubin correlate with the area of skin that is jaundiced, as indicated in the table
This is applicable to full term infants with jaundice not due to all hemolytic conditions
included Rh incompatibility.
![Page 33: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Zone 1 2 3 4 5
SB(umol/L)
100 150 200 250 >250
Kramer drew attention to the observation that jaundice starts on the head, and extends towards the feet as the level rises. This is useful in deciding whether or not a baby needs to have the SB measured. Kramer divided the infant into 5 zones, the SBR range associated with progression to the zones is as follows:
![Page 34: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Table 1: correlation between levels of serum bilirubin with the area of skin that is Jaundiced
Area of body Range of indirect bilirubin mg/dl(mmol/L)
Head & neck 4-8 (68-135) Upper trunk 5-12 (85-204) Lower trunk and thigh 8-16 (136-272) Arms & lower legs 11-18 (187-306) Palms and soles >18 (>306)
(NB: It may be difficult to assess jaundice in dark skinned infants).

Advise for physiological jaundice: The parents should be explained about
the benign nature of jaundice. Encourage more frequent
breastfeeding to stimulate the gut and hence increase excretion of bilirubin via the stool
DO NOT encourage or allow supplementary fluids like glucose or water as it will prolong the jaundice.
![Page 41: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

If a child has near exchange transfusion or higher TSB level but no signs of kernicterus and is well :
Prepare for exchange transfusion Double phototherapy Put up an IV line and maintainence
fluids Continue breastfeeding Rpt SB at 4 hrs If SB cont’ to rise , proceed with ET

Prolonged jaundice beyond 2 weeks: The common causes include breast milk jaundice,
extravasated blood (cephalhematoma), hemolytic disease, G-6PD deficiency and hypothyroidism.
One should rule out cholestasis by noting the urine color and checking the level of direct bilirubin.
Investigations to rule out cholestasis (stool color, urine color, direct and indirect bilirubin levels)
Investigations to rule out ongoing hemolysis, G-6PD screen
Investigations to rule out hypothyroidism Investigations to rule out urinary tract infection.

Alagille syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable expression.
Associated abnormalities include those of the liver, heart, eye, skeleton, and kidneys and characteristic facial features.
Mild-to-moderate mental retardation also may be present.
![Page 48: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Typical facial features of Alagille syndrome. Note broad forehead, deep-set eyes and pointed chin
![Page 49: NEONATAL JAUNDICE 1](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061611/551ea2d0497959335b8b4739/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
If the stool is pale over 3 consecutive days, suspect biliary atresia and inform Paediatric surgeon and plan for
1)US of liver2)HIDA scan3)Liver biopsy4)Operative cholangiogram

Neonatal Hepatitis Syndrome- Followup with LFT fortnightly- Watch out for liver failure and
bleeding tendency (Vit K deficiency)- Repeat Hep B and C screening at 6
weeks- Most infants with neonatal hepatitis
made a complete recovery

To prevent potentially dangerous bilirubin levels
and to decrease the need for exchange transfusion, since phototherapy changes bilirubin into more soluble forms to be excreted in the bile or urine (lumirubin )

The minimum irradiance is 6-12 μW/cm2/nm the distance of the light source from the
baby, the optimum distance being 35 - 50 cm
Expose infant appropriately Baby must be completely naked for full
