Neonatal Jaundice
Manae
n
Outline
• The definition of Neonatal Jaundice
• Billirubin Metabolism
• Special characteristic in neonates
• Dangerous of the Hyperbillirubinemia
• The diseases in relation with Neonatal
Jaundice
What is the Neonatal Jaundice?
• Neonatal Jaundice(also called Newborn
jaundice) is a condition marked by high levels
of bilirubin in the blood.
The increased bilirubin
cause the infant's skin
and whites of the eyes
(sclera) to look yellow.
Billirubin Metabolism
Special characteristic in neonates
1. More billirubin produced
• Much more Hemolysis
• The life-length of hemolysis(70~80)
NEONATAL JAUNDICE.pptx
Special characteristic in neonates
2. The low capability of albumin on
unconjugated bilirubin transportation
• Acid intoxication
• Less albumin in neonates
NEONATAL JAUNDICE.pptx
Special characteristic in neonates
3. The low capability of hepatocyte
• Less Y protein and Z protein
• The primary development of Hepato-
enzyme system
• Easy-broken hepato-enzyme system
• After-born, the blood glucose level is very low.

Special characteristic in neonates
4. High workload of the hepato-enteric
circulation
• Less bacterial
• Low enzymatic activity in intestine
• High level of billirubin in
meconium
NEONATAL JAUNDICE.pptx
Summary
Increased rbc’s
Shortened rbc lifespan
Immature hepatic
uptake & conjugation
Increased enterohepatic
Circulation
The general symptom of neonatal
jaundice
• Yellow skin
• Yellow eyes(sclera)
• Sleepiness
• Poor feeding in infants
• Brown urine
• Fever
• High-pitch cry
• Vomiting
Brown urine
Grading of extent of jaundice 1
Area of body Billirubin levels
mg/dl (*17=umol)
Face 4-8
Upper trunk 5-12
Lower trunk & thighs 8-16
Arms and lower legs 11-18
Palms & soles > 15
Grading of extent of jaundice 2
Hemolytic disease of newborn
This condition occurs
when there is an
incompatibility
between the blood
types of the mother
and baby.
Are they use the same
circulation system?
Placental barrier
• ..
The blood types(A, B, O, AB)
• Although it is not as common (especially in a
first pregnancy), a similar problem of
incompatibility may happen between the
blood types (A, B, O, AB) of the mother and
baby in the following situations:
The blood types(A, B, O, AB)
The blood types (Rh)
Kernicterus
• Kernicterus is damage to the brain centers of
infants caused by increased levels of
unconjugated-indirect bilirubin which is free
(not bound to albumin).
Blood-brain barrier

The symptoms
• Eye movement
obstacles
• Hearing disorder
