What Is Neonatal Bilirubin?

Neonatal jaundice refers to neonatal jaundice, due to abnormal metabolism of bilirubin, which causes blood bilirubin levels to rise, and the symptoms characterized by yellow staining of the skin, mucous membranes and sclera occur. Common clinical problems. The disease is divided into physiological and pathological. Neonatal bilirubin (BIL) metabolism is characterized by excessive production of bilirubin, insufficient ability to operate bilirubin, and poor ability of liver cells to process bilirubin. Therefore, neonatal intake, binding, and excretion of bilirubin The ability is only 1% to 2% of adults. Therefore, jaundice is extremely easy to occur, especially when the newborn is in a state of hunger, hypoxia, delayed excretion of meconium, dehydration, acidosis, skull hematoma or intracranial hemorrhage. The detection of neonatal bilirubin is an important indicator for the diagnosis of neonatal jaundice. Serum bilirubin concentration (TSB) can be measured by venous blood or trace blood method.
