Bases follow-up testing on the difference between bilirubin level and the phototherapy threshold. No more risk zones! Raises thresholds for phototherapy and exchange transfusion. Includes gestational age and risk factors for neurotoxicity in the thresholds.

31 paź 2023 · This guideline covers diagnosing and treating jaundice, which is caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the blood, in newborn babies (neonates). It aims to help detect or prevent very high levels of bilirubin, which can be harmful if not treated.
History, physical examination, and timing can help, but typically total serum bilirubin and conjugated serum bilirubin levels are measured. Timing Jaundice that develops in the first 24 to 48 hours, or that persists > 2 weeks, is most likely pathologic.
6 lis 2019 · Neonatal jaundice is a clinical manifestation of elevated total serum bilirubin, termed neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, which results from bilirubin that is deposited into an infant's skin. The characteristic features of neonatal jaundice include yellowish skin, sclerae, and mucous membranes.
5 sie 2022 · Use total serum bilirubin concentrations; do not subtract direct bilirubin from the total serum bilirubin. In rare cases of severe hyperbilirubinemia in which the direct-reacting or conjugated bilirubin exceeds 50% of the TSB, consult an expert.
17 sty 2022 · The blood test shows the total serum bilirubin (TSB) level. The American Academy of Pediatrics uses a newborn jaundice level chart to determine if a baby needs treatment. The chart is based on your baby’s total serum bilirubin level and age.
When the total serum bilirubin (TSB) rises above the 95 th percentile for age (high-risk zone) during the first week of life, it will be considered as hyperbilirubinemia (4, 5). Between 60%–80% of healthy infants are expected to present with idiopathic neonatal jaundice (6).
