Comparing transcutaneous bilirubin versus serum bilirubin measurement using spectrophotometry for jaundice screening of full-term neonates
Background: Neonatal jaundice is an almost common problem among neonates that may cause complications such as kernicterus in severe cases. Since early diagnosis and proper treatment of neonatal jaundice is vital to prevent the related complications, it is necessary to check bilirubin before discharging the neonates. There are several evaluating and diagnostic methods to measure the level of bil...
متن کاملComparison of Transcutaneous Bilirubin Measurement With Total Serum Bilirubin Levels in Preterm Neonates Receiving Phototherapy.
OBJECTIVE To compare transcutaneous bilirubin with total serum bilirubin in preterm neonates after initiation of phototherapy. METHODS Jaundice was assessed in 30 preterm neonates with transcutaneous bilirubin and total serum bilirubin before initiation of phototherapy and at 12 hr after initiation of phototherapy. A photo-occlusive patch was applied over the sternum. RESULTS Transcutaneous...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin measurements and serum total bilirubin levels in indigenous African infants.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements correlate with serum total bilirubin (STB) levels in indigenous, darkly pigmented African newborns with varying degrees of skin pigmentation, some of which had developed kernicterus. METHODS Jaundiced infants who were < or =2 weeks of age and admitted to Baptist Medical Center-Eku (Eku; ...
متن کاملJaundice and bilirubin levels in Greek children with favism.
Jaundice and bilirubin levels varied widely in 85 children with favism. Low bilirubin levels (less than 2 mg/100 ml) with clinically undetectable jaundice were seen in 34 (40%), mild jaundice in 32 (38%), moderate in 16 (19%), and severe (greater than 8 mg/100 ml) in 3 (4%). Bilirubin levels were unrelated to the severity of anaemia or to reticulocytosis. The absence of bilirubinaemia and jaund...
متن کاملTrans-Cutaneous Bilirubinometery versus Serum Bilirubin in Neonatal Jaundice.
Hyperbilirubinemia is a common problem in neonates and causes serious complications. Thus, serial measurements of bilirubin should be done. This assessment is done through two methods of laboratory measurement in serum sample and transcutaneous bilirubinometer. This descriptive study compared transcutaneous bilirubin assessment and laboratory serum bilirubin. Bilirubin level was assessed among ...
