PY - 2012 T2 - Care of the Jaundiced Neonate AB - In order to develop an approach to the diagnosis and management of the jaundiced newborn, it is necessary to understand the nonpathologic factors that can affect bilirubin levels in the normal newborn infant as well as the natural history of neonatal bilirubinemia. Many factors have been identified in large epidemiologic studies as having some effect on neonatal bilirubin levels,1 but their clinical relevance is often questionable. Those that have been shown in recent studies to have an important influence on total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels are listed in Table 6-1.
