Background: Prolonged hyperbilirubinemia is defined as jaundice persisting more than two and three weeks of life in term and preterm neonates, respectively. In total, 15-40% of jaundiced neonates became prolonged. The most common causes of prolonged hyperbilirubinemia are breastfeeding, infection, hypothyroidism, and continued hemolysis. Given the fact that no study was conducted on the associa...

Familial Mediterranean fever is a multisystem disorder, usually seen in subjects of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern origin, characterized by recurrent bouts of fever and pain due to inflammation of the peritoneum, synovia, or pleura. In this article we report a case of Familial Mediterranean fever with recurrent abdominal pain and hyperbilirubinemia, review the literature and discuss whether t...

Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a rare benign inherited disorder, caused by mutations in ABCC2 gen, and it is characterized by predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia that can be increased by intercurrent infectious illnesses or surgical procedures. We report the case of a 10 year-old patient who showed, after a surgical procedure for peritonitis due to appendicitis, jaundice and predominantly co...

Background & Objective: Neonatal jaundice is common reason for admission in neonatal units requiring further evaluation to prevent adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. Lactate dehydrogenase levels are high hemolysis. This study was aimed explore the diagnostic properties of Dehydrogenase (LDH)in hemolytic causes hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: In this observational cross sectional study, prospe...

Background Hyperbilirubinemia occurs in 60% of full term and 80% premature infants. Phototherapy is the main treatment, but it has side effects, sometimes requires hospitalization, causes baby to be separated from mother. Underdeveloped gut microflora increased enterohepatic circulation newborns contribute serum bilirubin levels early life.
 Objective To assess efficacy adding probiotic L....

Background: Preterm infants have a higher incidence of indirect hyperbilirubinemia than term in about 80% cases. Approach to initial screening for preterm by cord blood is practical, cheap and noninvasive. Objectives: To determine the value albumin, bilirubin bilirubin/albumin ratio predict pathological infants. Materials method: A prospective cohort study was carried out all < 37 weeks, wer...

abstract:background : hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common cause of congenital sensory neuronal hearing loss. these patients are screened by auditory brainstem response (abr) test at bilirubin levels higher than 1% of gestational weight. aim: to determine whether hyperbilirubinemia less than 1% of gestational weight could induce hearing loss and abnormal auditory brainstem response (abr...
