Bilirubin dosage in cord blood: could it predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia?
CONTEXT With early discharge, many newborns have to be readmitted to hospital for hyperbilirubinemia to be treated, and this has been held responsible for the reappearance of kernicterus. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether bilirubin levels in cord blood could predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia that would require treatment, in full-term newborns up to their third day of life. TYPE OF STUDY Prosp...
متن کاملCord Blood Albumin and Cord Blood Bilirubin in Early Detection of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia
Introduction: During the neonatal period, metabolism of bilirubin is in transition from the fetal stage to the adult stage1. Uridine diphosphoglucuronyl transferase (UDPGT), an important liver enzyme for conjugation and excretion of bilirubin, is detectable at 18 – 20 weeks of gestation. UDPGT levels in full term neonates are usually less than 0.1% of adult values. Adult value of this enzyme ac...
متن کاملDoes umbilical cord bilirubin level have predictive value in pathologic neonatal hyperbilirubinemia?
Introduction The increase in the use of breast feeding and the decrease in mothers' hospitalization in the past few years have caused an increase in the infant bilirubin level, so it is necessary to introduce methods which can identify infants with higher risks of hyperbiliru binemia. The aim of this study is to determine the predictive value of measuring the umbilical cord bilirubin for patho...

متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin nomogram for prediction of significant neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVE The goal was to develop a predictive nomogram, based on transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements, for assessment of the risk of significant hyperbilirubinemia in healthy term and near-term neonates. METHODS A total of 10382 TcB measurements were performed with 2039 healthy neonates (gestational age of > or =35 weeks and birth weight of > or =2000 g), with a BiliCheck bilirubinome...
