    Because the metabolism and detoxification functions of the child's liver are not fully developed, neonatal jaundice is easy to occur。In newborns, jaundice is a very normal phenomenon. Statistics show that the probability of jaundice in full-term newborns is about 70%, while the probability of jaundice in premature infants is more than 80%.

    For inexperienced novice parents, seeing the baby with neonatal jaundice will be very nervous, for fear of affecting the child's health, in fact, we can make appropriate ** according to the situation.

    After the child is born, the detoxification function and liver metabolism are in an imperfect state, and the bilirubin metabolism in the body far exceeds the liver load, which is the cause of neonatal jaundice. Neonatal jaundice is usually divided into two types, the first is physiological jaundice, the second is pathological jaundice, and the methods of these two types of jaundice are completely different. Physiological jaundice usually occurs in the first 2 to 3 days of the baby's life, reaches its peak in 5 7 days, and gradually begins to slowly subside after 7 days until it completely subsides after two weeks, and does not last long.

    Physiological jaundice does not need to worry too much, and there is no need for special **, the mother can give the baby more breast milk to promote the number of bowel movements, while paying attention to keeping warm, and let him bask in the sun under the condition of protecting the baby's eyes, so that he can recover as soon as possible. If the baby's jaundice index is seriously exceeded, the mother should pay special attention to it, and it is best to go to the neonatal department for examination. Pathological jaundice usually occurs in the first 24 hours of the baby's birth, and the development rate is very fast, the serum bilirubin rises more than 85 per day, and lasts for a long time, and some children even last for about a month, or there is a recurrence.

    In this case, special ** is necessary, such as drugs**, blue light exposure, etc.

    Some mothers think that infant jaundice is very normal and therefore do not pay attention to it, but this is not the case. If jaundice is too severe, it can damage the baby's neurological development, which can have a great impact on the baby's life.

    For neonatal jaundice, it is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice, and most children belong to physiological jaundice. It is a process in which a large number of red blood cells are produced after birth due to the destruction of the spleen, and then a large amount of bilirubin is produced after destruction, and then it is combined with the corresponding conjugates, and then gradually excreted through the liver after binding.

    Therefore, once the bilirubin is produced, if the combination is not complete, the child may have a continuous increase in bilirubin indicators, once it exceeds a certain range, it is easy to have bilirubin into the brain, which is more dangerous for the child. Therefore, during this period, it is necessary to pay attention to many aspects, such as through blue light**, which helps the binding and excretion of bilirubin. Then you can take medication to empty bilirubin, which is helpful for the child's jaundice recovery.

    Therefore, as family members, we need to understand the process of physiological jaundice, and then we also need to pay attention to the fact that we must be regular during this period to avoid irreversible damage to the child due to high bilirubin, which is more dangerous for the child.

    This is because the newborn has abnormal bilirubin metabolism at birth, which causes an increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood, resulting in a condition characterized by the yellow staining of the mucous membranes and sclera.

    This is due to the fact that the rate of bilirubin production in the fetus exceeds the rate of excretion by the body, which causes jaundice.

    Neonatal jaundice is common and can be both physiological and pathological. Jaundice in newborns is likely to occur as a result of one of the following. Total bile disturbance is increased in orthoerythrin formation:

    Due to the large number of blood cells in newborns and the short cycle, the number of damaged red blood cells increases, the liver growth and development is immature, the ability of liver cells to ingest and ship is low, and the ability to fuse is weak.

    Obstruction of intestinal and hepatic circulation: The unique internal environment of the neonatal stomach and intestines improves the digestion and absorption of total bilirubin, and the total bilirubin used by ** re-enters the blood, causing jaundice to aggravate. It is that the function of the liver is immature, and the liver function of the newborn is immature, and it cannot metabolize all the total bilirubin in the body, so the total bilirubin in the body of the newborn is too much, causing jaundice.

    The total bilirubin is formed too much, the red blood cells in the fetal baby's body have a short lifespan, the destruction of blood cells in the neonatal period increases, and the total bilirubin is all in the blood cells, so the total bilirubin in the body is released more because of the destruction of blood cells, and the number of blood cells in the newborn is much more than that of adults, so too much total bilirubin will be formed.

    That is, there are no beneficial bacteria in the stomach and intestines of newborns, and the total bilirubin in the stomach and intestines cannot be metabolized, so that the total bilirubin is digested and absorbed again in the stomach and intestines, which will cause jaundice, which is also physiological, generally 1-2 weeks will slowly dissipate, and pathological jaundice is caused by hemolysis, hepatitis diseases, bile duct blockage and other diseases, which must be treated immediately and actively, otherwise it is very easy to produce bilirubin encephalopathy and harm the recovery. Generally, there are many factors that cause neonatal jaundice, which can be divided into three categories according to the actual reasons, the first is caused by hemolysis, if the blood shape of the newborn does not match the blood shape of the mother, for example, the blood shape of the newborn mother belongs to type O blood, and the newborn belongs to type A or type B.

    In this case, the newborn will have hemolysis, after hemolysis, it will cause the destruction of newborn blood cells, resulting in an increase in the level of total bilirubin in the body, and after the total bilirubin in the body increases, the newborn will develop jaundice. If the newborn is infected with cytomegalovirus and hepatitis B virus, this pathogen will invade the liver of the newborn, and after the newborn's liver is damaged, it will cause the level of total bilirubin to decrease, resulting in an increase in the level of total bilirubin in the body, and jaundice.

    Neonatal jaundice may be both physiological and pathological. It is mainly caused by high levels of bilirubin in the body.

    Neonatal jaundice may be caused by a lack of oxygen in the mother and fetus, which causes excessive production of bilirubin, resulting in jaundice.

  8. Anonymous users2024-02-08

    <> a large number of senescent red blood cells are destroyed after the fetus is born, and excessive bilirubin is released that needs to be metabolized through the liver and intestines, and the baby's birth intestine-liver circulation has not yet been established, so that bilirubin has no time to be excreted from the body, and as a result, a large amount of bilirubin will be deposited on the ** mucosa and sclera, which will be yellowed, thus causing jaundice.

    Although neonatal jaundice is a common problem after birth, most children have physiological jaundice after birth, and its main features are:

    Physiological jaundice is usually 2-3 days after birth** jaundice, 4-5 days of jaundice peak, with the establishment of entero-liver circulation, the baby can breastfeed and defecate normally, bilirubin metabolism will gradually subside, generally 10-15 days of natural jaundice subsided.

    Pathological jaundice appears early, even earlier than 24 hours after birth, especially in newborns with hemolysis (ABO, RH negative), and most of the jaundice caused by infection and congenital biliary atresia lasts for a long time, and some even have 1-2 months of jaundice that does not go away.

    Degree of jaundice: <>

    Physiological jaundice is mild and resolves spontaneously after the peak of jaundice.

    However, neonatal hemolytic jaundice is golden yellow in color, and shows progressive aggravation, once not intervened in time**, it is easy to develop bilirubin encephalopathy through the neonatal blood-brain barrier, causing irreversible cerebral palsy.

    Infectious jaundice, on the other hand, is mostly yellowish and tends to recur, that is, it seems to recede, and jaundice will recur because the infection is not cleared.

    Congenital biliary atresia or malformation, often with grayish-white or clay-like light-colored stools.

    According to the above characteristics of jaundice, parents need to observe the time when jaundice appears in their babies.

    Secondly, we should pay attention to the jaundice value, if the jaundice is golden yellow or yin yellow, and its jaundice is progressively aggravated, the general jaundice index is carried out at a rate of 85 mo l (5mg dl) per day, and the naked eye can be found to teach obvious ** yellow staining, which should be highly valued.

    When the bilirubin value is high, it is necessary to intervene** to prevent the occurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy.

    When it is determined that the baby's jaundice is pathological, targeted intervention should be carried out.

    Phototherapy: In general, the most convenient, effective and economical method of neonatal jaundice is phototherapy. The principle of phototherapy is to turn unbound bilirubin into water-soluble isomers bilirubin and photorubin through the wavelength of light, thereby blocking the production of bilirubin and promoting metabolism.

    Drug yellowing**:

    Take medication as recommended by your doctor.

    Introduction: Novice mothers can find that the baby's face will slowly turn yellow a few days after birth, because there is no parenting experience, so it is extremely nervous, this is because the baby has jaundice. It is also often said that:

    Ten babies and eight yellow", so the mother will worry about the baby's jaundice, whether it matters? Next, I will analyze with you why neonatal jaundice is "eight yellow in ten babies".

    Jaundice in newborns is mainly caused by changes in bilirubin in the blood, and bilirubin is also found in the blood of adults, but it is relatively low and therefore not noticeable with the naked eye. However, the bilirubin increases in the 2 3 days after the birth of the newborn, because the body functions of the newborn are not perfect, so the baby's body functions have a relatively low ability to deal with bilirubin, so it will show the symptoms of jaundice in a short period of time.

    In daily life, the main methods of jaundice are blue light and exchange transfusion. Blue light refers to placing newborns in the hospital in a certain intensity of blue light, through irradiation to produce a series of photochemical reactions, the body bilirubin is excreted, the method is safe, and at the same time, it is relatively small. Exchange transfusion** refers to the replacement of blood with normal bilirubin levels in newborns to help reduce serum bilirubin, which is not only scary but also complicated to operate, and is a method that will not be used unless absolutely necessary.

    The jaundice of newborns will increase in a curve with the change of time, so the safe value of bilirubin is also in a state of change at different times, so parents should not make their own decisions and should follow the doctor's advice. Physiological jaundice is caused by insufficient feeding of the mother in the later stage and less defecation after birth, which usually appears in the newborn at 2 3 days, and is most obvious at 4 or 5 days. Pathological jaundice usually appears after 24 hours of birth, directly exceeds the normal range and resolves for a long time, in which case it needs to be prompted**, if delayed**, it may cause bilirubin encephalopathy.

"Jaundice" is a disease caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism in the blood, if it is within 28 days of the baby's birth, it is called "neonatal jaundice", which is a common neonatal disease. Due to the abnormal metabolism of bilirubin, which exceeds the metabolic capacity of the human body, it causes an increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood, which leads to the yellow staining of the baby**, sclera and other organs, and in severe cases, it will hurt the brain, which is the most common disease in newborns. >>>More
