Abstract
Jaundice is the yellowish discoloration of the sclera and the skin due to increased bilirubin levels in blood. It is often a normal condition in the neonates, but when the levels of the bilirubin exceed a certain range, it requires intervention because it can have serious neurological sequelae and may even cause death in those who survive. There are some factors which can put the baby at an increased risk of developing hyperbilirubinemia. These risk factors may be maternal or neonatal. Maternal risk factors can include any history of drugs, other comorbid conditions, ABO and Rh incompatibility, ethnicity and others. Neonatal risk factors include gestational age, infections, trauma during birth, etc.
Keywords: Jaundice; Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia; Bilirubin levels.
