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 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 کاملPrediction of Severe Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia Using Cord Blood Hydrogen Peroxide: A Prospective Study
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that cord blood hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could be utilized to predict the severity of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. METHODS We prospectively enrolled term or near-term healthy neonates. Cord blood and capillary blood at three days of age were measured for hydrogen peroxide and bilirubin concentrations. For newborns with hyperbilirubinemia, further blood samples were ...
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...
