What are the hazards of high jaundice in newborns?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, high jaundice indicates high bilirubin levels, and bilirubin is the body's advanced waste. High jaundice, if accumulated in the brain, can damage the brain, causing seizures, coma, and leaving behind intellectual disabilities or epilepsy; if accumulated in the liver, it can lead to liver cirrhosis.
