Nature: 966 Hyperbilirubinemia in a Cohort of Infants in a Normal Newborn Nursery (NNN) 966 Hyperbilirubinemia in a Cohort of Infants in a Normal Newborn Nursery (NNN) Background and aims: Jaundice is one of the most frequent indications for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in otherwise normal newborns. The aim of the study was to analyse the frequency, ... Newborn jaundice is when a baby’s skin and eyes turn yellow from too much bilirubin.
It usually resolves as their liver matures and they start feeding, but if it persists, there may be another cause. The New England Journal of Medicine: Familial Nonhemolytic Jaundice with Normal Liver Histology and Conjugated Bilirubin Bilirubin normally passes through the liver and is excreted in bile, but when this process is disrupted, it can accumulate in the blood, resulting in jaundice. A protein that inhibits the enzyme that breaks down bilirubin in newborns has now been identified by researchers. Methods that block this inhibitor, and thus restore the enzyme’s activity, could ...
