Oxidative stress and antioxidant status in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible relationships between plasma bilirubin levels and concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), and erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme activities in newborn infants with hyperbilirubinemia. METHODS Thirty term (gestational age > or = 37 weeks) newborn infants with indirect hyperbilirubinemia aged less than 10 days were prospectively recruited in...
متن کاملNeonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
Care of the high-risk neonate usually refers to the low-birth-weight infant or the sick term newborn. Whereas hyperbilirubinemia is certainly a matter of concern in these infants, the decisions that must be made regarding jaundice in the high-risk neonate are, in general, less complex than those that must be made for the healthy full-term infant. For the term and near-term infant, shorter hospi...
متن کاملNeonatal hyperbilirubinemia
Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia is a common condition in the first week of postnatal life. Low levels of bilirubin exert antioxidant effects, but some neonates may develop very high levels of unconjugated bilirubin (UCB), with an increase of the unbound free fraction (Bf), able to diffuse through the blood brain barrier. Amount and duration of hyperbilirubinemia and the neurodevelopmental age (...
متن کاملHenna: a potential cause of oxidative hemolysis and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vitro oxidation potential of lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4 naphthoquinone). Lawsone is a chemical present in henna, the crushed leaves of which are used worldwide as a cosmetic agent to stain the hair, skin, and nails. METHODOLOGY Venous blood from glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-normal and G6PD A- subjects were incubated with various amounts of lawsone for 2 ho...
