Hyperbilirubinemia and Jaundice
What is hyperbilirubinemia?
Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition in which there is too much bilirubin in the blood. When red blood cells break down, a substance called bilirubin is formed.
Hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal: Elevation of the bilirubin level in the blood of the newborn, which results in yellowish staining of the skin and whites of the newborn's eyes (sclerae) by pigment of bile (bilirubin).

Hyperbilirubinemia
Elevated serum bilirubin levels and mild jaundice are hallmarks of hyperbilirubinemia, also known as neonatal jaundice.
Risk of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates ≥ 35 wk gestation.
Risk is based on total serum bilirubin levels.
Alternate Names : Hyperbilirubinemia - breast-feeding
Definition
Jaundice is a condition that causes the skin and parts of the eyes to turn a yellow color.
Transient familial hyperbilirubinemia is thought to be an autosomal recessive inherited disorder. It occurs when the body does not properly break down (metabolize) a certain form of bilirubin. Bilirubin levels rapidly build up in the body.
Prematurity Problems: Hyperbilirubinemia & Jaundice
Description
Bilirubin is produced when ageing, damaged, or abnormal red blood cells are removed from the circulation, and are broken down by the liver.

Hyperbilirubinemia:
Too much bilirubin in the blood. Symptoms include jaundice. This condition occurs when the liver does not work normally.
hyperbilirubinemia - too much bilirubin in the bloodstream, due to liver problems. Causes a yellow color of the skin known as jaundice.
ileum - the lower end of the small intestine.
Hyperbilirubinemia - breast-feeding
Causes
Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is created as the body gets rid of old red blood cells. The liver helps break down bilirubin so that it can be removed from the body in the stool.
hyperbilirubinemia - the build-up of bilirubin in the blood.
hypoglycemia - a condition in which the amount of blood glucose (sugar) is lower than normal.
