Patient's question:
A newborn baby is premature by 6 weeks and has been born for a week. They have been staying in an incubator for a week, but their total bilirubin level is still 217, indicating severe jaundice. Please ask: Is the high jaundice 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 incompleteness of the child's various functions, leading to abnormal functional decomposition and metabolism. The resolution of hematoma is more commonly seen in the self-resolution and recovery of the hematoma in humans. In your case, it is still necessary to undergo periodic CT reexaminations to understand the specific condition of the head and confirm the situation. Patients face the harm of neonatal jaundice directly, and we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid medical consultation. If neonatal jaundice is not resolved after treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
