Background: Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia is a common problem encountered in neonates and often requires admission and treatment. Aims & Objectives: To determine the incidence, etiology and risk factors associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on data obtained on live births for 2012 and 2013.All treated ca...

Context: Hyperbilirubinemia is a common cause for diagnostic work-up and therapeutic intervention in neonates needs convenient, quick, safe treatment modality. Phototherapy the most neonatal jaundice; however, complementary still needed. Despite identification of enzymatic pathways bilirubin catabolism, few pharmacological interventions have been found to be effective reducing bilirubin, along ...

Background: Many cases of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia never have the underlying cause of the jaundice clearly identified. Thus they are said to have ‘idiopathic’ severe neonatal jaundice. However, finding the exact cause, if it is a genetic condition, can enable informed anticipatory guidance regarding future episodes of hemolysis, anemia, or bilirubin cholelithiasis. Objective: ‘Next ge...

© SCVIR, 1995 THE incidence of complications following fine-needle (external diameter < 1 mm; 20-23-gauge) aspiration biopsies (FNABs) in the abdomen is low, with a reported rate of 0.55%. Major complications including bile peritonitis, bacterial peritonitis, intrahepatic hematoma, tumor seeding, and death have been reported to occur in 0.003%-0.1% of cases (1,2). Blood may enter the biliary sy...
