List at least three major risk factors for developing severe hyperbilirubinemia.
To list: Three major risk factors for developing severe hyperbilirubinemia.
Introduction: Elevated levels of the bilirubin in blood are referred to as hyperbilirubinemia. Bilirubin is formed by the breakdown of red blood cells. When infants are unable to get rid of excess bilirubin, it gets accumulated in the blood and other tissues of the infant’s body. Symptoms appearing as a result of the condition include yellowing of skin, eyes, and other tissues.
Although there might be genetic factors for the transmission of hyperbilirubinemia, the condition can occur in infants due to the reasons as follows:
- 1. Overfeeding of breastmilk may result in hyperbilirubinemia condition. Suboptimal breastfeeding delays meconium passage in the intestinal tract of the newborn and thereby increases bilirubin levels in hepatic circulation.
- 2. Reduced milk intake can also cause hyperbilirubinemia...
