Patient's question:
I would like to ask, my baby just born, the doctor said jaundice is high, what are the hazards of jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
If a child has jaundice, parents should not be too anxious. Parents should check and treat the child in a timely manner. If the jaundice is too high and is treated promptly, it may cause brain damage to the infant. Because at this time, unconjugated bilirubin can cross the blood-brain barrier due to high bilirubin levels, which may lead to brain cell damage. Therefore, some problems caused by brain cell damage may form certain sequelae, affecting physical development, such as leading to intellectual disabilities, hearing impairments, motor impairments in hands and feet, eye movement impairments, and so on.
