Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Take the child for a check-up, the result was high bilirubin in the newborn. I want to know what generally causes high bilirubin in newborns?
Doctor's answer:
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia should be considered as jaundice. Neonatal jaundice refers to a condition where the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera of newborns appear yellowish, and it is the most common clinical problem in newborns. The cause is abnormal bilirubin metabolism and elevated bilirubin levels in the blood. This condition is divided into physiological and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice generally does not require special treatment, while pathological jaundice needs to be treated with blue light exposure to reduce jaundice.
