Feeling Happy on Saving the Quality of life by Exchange Transfusion procedure of Swarnima - 3 days old having Serum Bilirubin :36 on admission. I think this is my 50th procedure & all babies are doing well. - Dr. Sourabh Choudhary
Bilirubin is a bile pigment that is orange-yellow in color. It is formed during the normal breakdown of red blood cells (hemoglobin), and is excreted in the bile. Bilirubin can be classified as indirect (free or unconjugated) while it is circulating and is considered as direct after conjugation in the liver with glucuronic acid.
High bilirubin levels in a newborn usually is the result of unconjugated bilirubin, and is not a major problem for many newborns because they soon metabolize the unconjugated bilirubin normally. These neonates usually clear jaundice within a week. However, very high unconjugated bilirubin levels over time (weeks) can be neurotoxic and can even cause death or lifelong neurological problems (kernicterus) in those who survive. Newborn jaundice may be the result of an underlying problem, for example:
