When Hyperbilirubinemia Becomes a Medical Emergency. A new term, "escalation of care," has been adopted to describe actions to take when the newborn's TSB climbs to within 2 mg/dL of the exchange ...
Physiologic jaundice is seen in approximately 60% of full-term infants and more frequently in near-term infants. [6] Generally, serum bilirubin peaks around 5 to 6 mg/dL on day of life 3 to 4 and ...
Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia also occurs with hemolysis and ineffective erythropoiesis. A direct bilirubin fraction >0.4 mg/dL should prompt an evaluation for hepatobiliary disease, hemolysis ...
Hyperbilirubinemia. The potential for developing hyperbilirubinemia is another issue of concern. In their systematic review, using data from 1009 infants, Hutton and Hassan [] found no significant ...
Abstract and Introduction Abstract. Screening for severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is integral to newborn care. Predischarge risk assessment relies on documentation of visual jaundice: age at ...
The salient features in our study were as follows: (1) the maximum total serum bilirubin of neonates recruited was > 300 µmol/L (17.5 mg/dL); (2) the mean maximum total serum bilirubin of all ...
Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is the most typical clinical finding in sepsis because it is always included in standard laboratory analyses. However, serum bile acids are also elevated in sepsis ...
Leptospirosis causes hyperbilirubinemia out of proportion to transaminase levels, but is usually associated with acute renal failure. Leptospirosis does not cause a lung abscess, and, while the ...
However, when the cut-off for group assignment was a bilirubin level ≥ 10 mg/dL above the ETT, the hazard ratio for sensorineural hearing loss was 36.0 (95% confidence interval, 13-101). When an ...
Nature of the test. Assessment of clinical risks for severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia [31, 32, 33] include exclusive and insufficient breast-milk transfer, family history of neonatal jaundice ...
