The nurse explains to the parents of a 2-day-old newborn that decreased life span of neonatal red blood cells has contributed to hyperbilirubinemia.
Jaundice, a yellow colouring of the skin and eyes brought on by hyperbilirubinemia, is caused by an accumulation of bilirubin in the blood. Low bilirubin levels in newborns are typical, do not cause any problems, and resolve on their own within the first week of life.
On the other hand, some situations, such as prematurity, infection, or specific blood abnormalities, can cause a rapid buildup of bilirubin to a dangerous level.About 60% of term neonates and 80% of premature babies both experience hyperbilirubinemia, which causes jaundice.
Red blood cell lysis naturally produces bilirubin as a byproduct. Unconjugated bilirubin is transformed by the adult liver into a conjugated form that is eliminated.
