About Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia

Neonatal Jaundice, also known as hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal, is related to pyruvate kinase deficiency of red cells and crigler-najjar syndrome, type i, and has symptoms including icterus and newborn physiological jaundice. An important gene associated with Neonatal Jaundice is G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Metabolism and Glycosaminoglycan metabolism. The drugs Oxytocin and Zinc cation have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, breast and brain, and related phenotypes are no effect and no effect

Major Symptoms of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia

The main symptoms of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia include:

1. Cyanosis of the skin and mucous membranes: Cyanosis of the skin and mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia makes the skin very fair, sometimes accompanied by skin itching.

2. Overfeeding: Overfeeding in newborns may lead to hyperbilirubinemia because overfeeding causes the liver to overwork and be unable to process bilirubin effectively.

3. Frequent vomiting: Frequent vomiting due to hyperbilirubinemia prevents newborns from eating, leading to dehydration and malnutrition.

4. Tachypnea: Tachypnea caused by hyperbilirubinemia makes it difficult for newborns to breathe, and respiratory failure may occur in severe cases.

5. Listlessness: Due to neurological symptoms caused by hyperbilirubinemia, newborns may suffer from mental disorders of varying degrees such as listlessness, lethargy, and restlessness.

6. Jaundice: One of the main symptoms of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is the yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes due to the accumulation of bilirubin.

7. Hepatosplenomegaly: Due to hepatosplenomegaly caused by hyperbilirubinemia, the liver and spleen of newborns become enlarged.

8. Bilirubinuria: Due to the failure of normal excretion of bilirubin due to hyperbilirubinemia, bilirubinuria results in jaundice and hematuria in newborns.

9. Abnormal liver function: Abnormal liver function caused by hyperbilirubinemia, such as elevated serum aminotransferase, abnormal liver function, etc.

10. Malnutrition: Newborns suffer from malnutrition due to factors such as frequent vomiting and overfeeding caused by hyperbilirubinemia.

Suitable Lifestyle for People with Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia

Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia (neonatal hyperbilirubinemia) is a common neonatal disease, mainly characterized by excessive bilirubin levels in newborns, which may lead to symptoms such as brain damage and jaundice. Newborns suffering from this disease should follow the following lifestyle:

1. Feeding method: Breastfeed as much as possible, because the level of bilirubin in breast milk is low, which can effectively reduce the level of bilirubin in the newborn's body. If breastfeeding is impossible for various reasons, you can consider using neonatal blue light irradiation for feeding, but this must be done under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Sleep: Maintaining good sleeping habits so that newborns have adequate rest will help reduce bilirubin levels in the body. Under normal circumstances, newborns need 14-17 hours of sleep every day.

3. Reduce going out: Try to avoid taking newborns to crowded public places to reduce the risk of infection.

4. Pay attention to hygiene: Keeping newborns clean and hygienic can help reduce the risk of infection. Pay attention to changing diapers frequently to keep the newborn's skin dry and clean.

5. Follow the doctor's advice: Under the guidance of the doctor, carry out treatment according to the doctor's recommendations, and review regularly.

6. Increase exposure to the sun: Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriately increasing the time that newborns spend in the sun can help reduce bilirubin levels. However, care should be taken to avoid direct sunlight exposure.

7. Keep a happy mood: Creating a comfortable and pleasant environment for newborns can help reduce their discomfort and reduce bilirubin levels in the body. It should be noted that different newborns have different situations and the suitability of lifestyle will vary. When formulating a lifestyle for a newborn, it is recommended to consult a doctor first and follow the doctor's recommendations.
