摘要
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) is a common phenomenon. In most cases, NH is benign and transient. However, in severe NH cases, neonates can develop encephalopathy and kernicterus. With appropriate screening and treatment, these adverse sequelae can be prevented. This article aims to provide the reader with an in-depth understanding of (1) bilirubin metabolism, (2) risk factors for severe NH, (3) NH screening and treatment, (4) various etiologies of severe NH, and (5) consequences of severe, untreated NH.
