A. Definition: an elevation of bilirubin level. The following criteria are used to define "Pathologic" hyperbilirubinemia: 1. Clinically evident jaundice in the 1st 24 hours of life. 2. Serum bili concentration rising by > 5mg/dL/day. 3. Total serum bili concentrations > 12.9mg/dL in term infants or 15mg/dL in preterm infants. 4.

A bilirubin level exceeding 12 mg/dl for the full term infant is suggestive of more than normal physiology and would be considered hyperbilirobinemia (Behrman). 4. In the studies conducted by Newman TB, neonatal bilirubin exceeding 10 mg/dl seems to have little effect on IQ (Intelligent Quotient), neurological abnormalities and hearing loss.

The bilirubin level will usually decrease every day with the treatment. The phototherapy may sometimes cause your baby to have brown coloured urine and loose brown/green bowel motions. These are signs that the treatment is working and the bilirubin level is falling.

Newborn jaundice: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia
Nearly all preterm neonates and approximately 60% of term newborns develop jaundice, (Stevenson, et al) a preventable cause of neurologic impairment in neonates. The syndrome of bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction (BIND) represents the range of neurologic manifestations seen in vulnerable babies who have been exposed to lower bilirubin ...

Jaundice / hyperbilirubinemia is common in newborns. Most jaundice is benign, but bilirubin can be toxic at very high levels. Severe hyperbilirubinemia can lead to acute bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus in rare cases

Serum bilirubin in jaundiced infants in the first 24 hours. If jaundice is visible in the first 24 hours of life, the nurse caring for the infant will do the following: Draw a Total Serum Bilirubin from a venipuncture or heelstick. When the results of the bilirubin are obtained, some newborns will require initiation of phototherapy immediately.

In most infants with physiologic jaundice bilirubin concentrations do not rise to a point that requires treatment. However, in some infants with exaggerated physiologic jaundice, and in many infants with pathologic jaundice, bilirubin in the blood reaches very high concentrations which needs treatment.3
