Criteria that Rule Out the Diagnosis
of Physiologic Jaundice
Prematurity
Hypothyroidism
Inherited deficiency of conjugating enzyme
uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferase
Other metabolic disorders
Indirect HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA
SECRETED but REABSORBED from gut
ENTEROHEPATIC CIRCULATION
Decreased enteral intake
Pyloric stenosis
Intestinal atresia/ stenosis
Meconium ileus
Meconium plug
Hirschsprungs disease
Direct HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA
OBSTRUCTIVE DISORDERS
Cholestasis
Biliary atresia
Choledochal cyst
Bacterial sepsis
Intrauterine infections: TORCH
HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA
DIAGNOSIS
History
Physical exam:
gestational age
activity/ feeding
level of icterus
pallor
hepatosplenomegaly
bruising, cephalhematoma
HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA
DIAGNOSIS
Laboratory tests
Bilirubin levels: total and direct
Mothers blood group and Rh type
Babys blood group and Rh type
Direct Coombs test on baby
Hemoglobin
Blood smear
Reticulocyte count
Rapidly developing jaundice
on Day 1
Likely
Rhesus, ABO, or other hemolytic disease
Spherocytosis
Less likely
Congenital infection
G-6-P-D deficiency
Rapidly onset jaundice
after 48 hours of age
Likely
Infection
G-6-P-D deficiency
Less likely
Congenital Rh, ABO, spherocytosis
HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA
MANAGEMENT
HYDRATION - FEEDING
PHOTOTHERAPY
EXCHANGE TRANSFUSION
Phenobarbital
Tin protoporphyrin
Management of Hyperbilirubinemia
in the Newborn Infant
35 or more weeks of gestation
Pregnant women:
Blood group and Rh type
If mom is Rh negative or O group:
Babys cord blood group/ Rh type/ DAT
Monitor infant for jaundice at least every 8-12 hours
If level of jaundice appears excessive for age,
perform transcutaneous bilirubin or total serum
bilirubin measurement
Clinical

of severity of
jaundice
Cephalocaudal progression
face 5 mg/dL (approximately)
upper chest 10 mg/dL (approximately)
abdomen and upper thighs 15 mg/dL (approximately)
soles of feet 20 mg/dL (approximately)
Double volume
Exchange Transfusion
2 X 85 mL/kg
cardiac failure
metabolic- hypoglycemia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia
air embolism
bacterial sepsis
transfusion transmitted viral disease
necrotizing enterocolitis
portal vein thrombosis
Mortality / permanent sequelae 1-12%
