Patient's question:
Hello! My child was just born a few days ago and has high jaundice. We went to the hospital for blue light treatment, and after the brain examination, it was found that [bilateral auditory pathway waves I, III, and V are visible, with right III-V/I-III > 1. This suggests possible involvement of the central segment of the auditory pathway].Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is a condition where the concentration of bilirubin in the blood is too high, leading to the visible yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes. In fact, most newborns may experience varying degrees of jaundice, and it is referred to as physiological jaundice, which is related to the characteristics of bilirubin metabolism in newborns.
