Patient's question:
Baby has been born for seven or eight days. When it was just born, it was white, but jaundice started appearing the next day. Now, at seven or eight days old, the jaundice has become quite severe. I would like to ask, what are the causes of jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice that is relatively severe is classified as pathological jaundice, primarily due to excessive bilirubin production, impaired liver bilirubin metabolism, or bile excretion disorders. Hemolytic diseases also require treatment. This includes congenital liver diseases, bile duct obstruction, or changes caused by hemolytic diseases, all of which need timely treatment to stabilize the condition. It is recommended to visit a good hospital for consultation.
