Neonatal jaundice is a disease characterized by elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood, with increased bilirubin levels in the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera, and it is classified as either physiological or pathological.1. First, distinguish between physiological and pathological jaundice, then consider the severity of jaundice, followed by the type of jaundice, and finally identify the cause.
