A bilirubin level of more than 85 umol/l (5mg/dl) manifests clinical jaundice in neonates whereas in adults a level of 34 umol/l (2mg/dl) would look icteric. In newborns,jaundice is detected by blanching the skin with digital pressure or that it reveals underlying skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Jaundice (also known as icterus; from the Greek word icteric) is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin, the conjunctival membranes over the sclerae (whites of the eyes), and other mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels of bilirubin in the blood). The term jaundice also have an origin from the French word jaune, meaning ...

Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (physiologic jaundice) – common in first week of life, due to increased bilirubin load as well as decreased hepatic cell uptake of bilirubin and deficient hepatic conjugation. Pre-term infants are more susceptible to kernicterus (neurologic damage) due to less effective blood-brain barrier.

When excessive levels of bilirubin accumulate in the blood (> 2.5 or 3 mg/dL) this chemical accumulates in sclera and colors it yellow; it also accumulates under the tongue and ultimately in the skin, causing a yellow or even green color (bilirubin can be oxidized with time to a more green pigment); the visible excess bilirubin in a patient is ...

The determination of direct bilirubin is helpful in the determination of hepatic disorders. The increase in the total bilirubin associated with obstructive jaundice is primarily due to the direct (conjugated) fraction. Both direct and indirect bilirubins are increased in the serum with hepatitis. 1. INTENDED USE:

This figure rises to 80% in pre-term babies (babies born early). Jaundice is more common in babies who are breastfed, and around 10% of breastfed babies will still have jaundice when they are one month old. Jaundice is caused by the build-up of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow substance produced when red blood cells are broken down.
