Patient's question:
A newborn born prematurely 6 weeks ago has been in the incubator for a week, but their total bilirubin level is still 217, with severe jaundice. Please ask: Is the high jaundice level in the newborn caused by intracranial hemorrhage?Doctor's answer:
Intracranial hemorrhage, if his blood is fully refined and recovered, some children may experience jaundice again. This is a common manifestation. This is due to the incomplete maturation of various functions in children, leading to abnormal functional decomposition and metabolism. The resolution of hematoma is more commonly seen in the self-resolution and recovery of human hematoma. In your case, it is still necessary to undergo periodic follow-up CT scans to understand the specific condition of the head and confirm the diagnosis. Patients face the harm of neonatal jaundice directly, and we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If neonatal jaundice does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
