| Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia also may result from problems that occur after the bilirubin is conjugated in the liver. |
|
| Hemoglobinemia, hemoglobinuria and subsequent hyperbilirubinemia are usually detectable. |
|
| Abnormal hemorrhage, hyperbilirubinemia and oliguria are late findings. |
|
| If the hyperbilirubinemia is not treated promptly, these infants become hypertonic and may develop a fever and a high-pitched cry. |

|
| Despite these recommendations, infants continue to present with severe hyperbilirubinemia during or after their initial hospitalization. |
|
| Furthermore, clinical assessment of jaundice is inadequate for diagnosing hyperbilirubinemia. |
|
| The occurrence of severe hyperbilirubinemia mandates an investigation of the cause of hyperbilirubinemia. |
|
| Critical hyperbilirubinemia is uncommon but has the potential for causing long-term neurological impairment. |
|
| The treatment for hyperbilirubinemia includes light treatment and may include an exchange transfusion. |
|
| Q fever may have also contributed to hyperbilirubinemia through two mechanisms. |
|
| An infant who presents with severe hyperbilirubinemia or who progresses to severe hyperbilirubinemia despite initial treatment should receive immediate intensive phototherapy. |
|
| Early discharge has the potential to interrupt monitoring of the newborn, thereby possibly delaying the identification and treatment of hyperbilirubinemia. |
|
| Approach to the management of hyperbilirubinemia in term newborn infants. |
|
| Some of the most severely affected infants require therapy to be started before the time of the metabolic screen to prevent severe hyperbilirubinemia and its complications. |
|
| Neurosensory hearing loss is of particular importance in infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia, and their hearing screen should include brainstem auditory evoked potentials. |
|
| Discontinuations due to hyperbilirubinemia were infrequent and no new or unexpected adverse events were observed. |
|
| Reassurance of the parents that appropriate intervention and follow-up will prevent any consequences of hyperbilirubinemia is an important part of the care of these infants. |
|
| Systems to ensure follow-up within the recommended intervals after hospital discharge must be in place so that an infant who develops severe hyperbilirubinemia can be identified and treated promptly. |
|
| The number of reported cases was higher this year due to the neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and vitamin D deficiency rickets studies and the inclusion of the early-onset eating disorders study to the program. |
|
|
|
| Artifactual hyperbilirubinemia due to paraprotein interference. |
|
| Babesiosis is an intraerythrocytic parasitic infection that ranges from subclinical to severe disease with fever, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, and hyperbilirubinemia. |
