Congenital jaundice

Cause jaundice yellower in color of the skin and whites of the eyes. Jaundice produces an increase in the proportion of bilirubin, a chemical found in hemoglobin (Hb). And Hemoglobin is a substance that carry oxygen in red blood cells. When decomposed red blood cells, the body build new cells to replace those that are disintegrating. The liver to deal with erythrocytes decaying, but could not do so, the bilirubin accumulates in the body, which could lead to a yellowing of the skin.

 Many healthy infants develop jaundice during the first week of life. Those infected children have an increased risk of complications, which produces some of the bilirubin that went to the brain, which can lead to mental retardation or deafness or other long-term problems.

You can address the serious levels of bilirubin through light therapy, where this method to address the excess bilirubin special light changes the bilirubin structure and therefore make it easier for the body to get rid of it.

 Be sure to check the level of bilirubin in the child. A simple examination of the skin or blood helps the doctor to detect the presence of an extra percentage of bilirubin. The child was discharged from hospital within 72 hours, for the mother to submitting it to the pediatrician within a day or two to make sure that the survival of jaundice.

an introduction

Newborn jaundice or jaundice among newborns is a very common condition.

Newborn children are living with a higher risk of complications that may cause mental retardation, deafness and other problems long-term jaundice. But most cases of neonatal jaundice, and thankfully, non-hazardous, and heal on its own.


The child may require treatment if he was suffering from severe jaundice, especially if the doctor advises it.

This educational program to help understand the nature of newborn jaundice, and when it needs to be addressed, and what are the available treatment options, and what to expect.

 What is jaundice

When jaundice, yellow skin look, as can the whites of the eyes turn yellow, too.

Article Balbalieropan called bile, which cause yellowing when a person with jaundice, as this article accumulate in the skin and whites of the eyes
.

Bilirubin is important to understand the aim of full absorption of jaundice. Bilirubin is a core part of the red blood cells that transports oxygen in the blood composition.

 The process of inspiration to pull oxygen into the lungs, where the red blood cells pick up oxygen from the lungs and transferred to the cells of the body. When the cells are using oxygen, they emit carbon dioxide, which Tltqth red blood cells from cells dioxide, moving to the lungs, where the process of exhaling paid out of the body.

At all times, the body get rid of aging red blood cells, and replace it with a new pellets. And it contains red blood cells on the aging of bilirubin, a substance that causes jaundice.
 The liver cleans the body of bilirubin is usually through the formation of "yellow" containing bilirubin. And going "yellow" in the lower gastrointestinal tract, and graduated from our body through the feces, with brown color due to the stools to the presence of bilirubin in it.

It produces jaundice about the presence of high levels of bilirubin in the body, so as to not being able to clean up and disposal of bilirubin, where congregate bilirubin, which did not get rid of him the body in the skin. It starts coloration caused by jaundice extinction when the blood bilirubin capture again and clean it.

 Do not cause high rates of bilirubin any long-term problems normally. But newborns infected with jaundice are more at risk of complications that occur if some of bilirubin directed to the brain, which can lead to mental retardation and deafness and other problems long-term. This is called the nuclear jaundice.

The early diagnosis of jaundice among newborns and treatment are important to ward off the risks faced by these children infected with jaundice. And it knows jaundice among newborns newborn jaundice.

 Causes jaundice

There are many possible causes of jaundice; in some cases, baby could be born with excessive proportion of red blood cells. When red blood cells die, the excess, the child's body is facing a problem in cleaning up the aging pellets bilirubin found them, thereby increasing the proportion of bilirubin in the body of the child.

 Another reason for jaundice, liver failure due to the growth of the completion of the newborn child, and thus can not deal appropriately with bilirubin, knowing that the child while in the womb depends on the mother's liver to get rid of bilirubin.

Also, there are many other causes that lead to jaundice among newborns. Some of these causes and be more serious or scarcity. Some cases of jaundice that the doctor can not find out the causes and there.

Some children are more likely than anyone else to suffer severe condition of jaundice, including:

     Children who are born prematurely.

     Children who are not breastfed well; for a child who is fed through breastfeeding to have 8 to 12 feed to reduce the chances of injury of neonatal jaundice.

 Symptoms of jaundice

The main symptoms of newborn jaundice is a yellowing of the skin color and the whites of the eyes, where you can see the yellow color clearly in daylight or under the neon light.

Symptoms of neonatal jaundice appears between the ages of 3 and 5 days usually. However, symptoms can appear before the baby was born premature (preterm).

Jaundice usually starts on the face, then it spreads down to all parts of the body. Some children with jaundice may be "nervous", so do not eat enough.

Diagnosis of jaundice

A simple scans diagnose the presence of newborn jaundice of the child, where this examination determines the amount of bilirubin in the body.

Treatment depends on the child's age and the level of bilirubin in the body.

 Treatment of jaundice

Most cases of newborn jaundice go away on its own. But, the doctor may recommend treatment with light if the ratio is too high bilirubin in the child.

Light therapy on the treatment of excess bilirubin special light, which in turn change the structure of bilirubin adopt, making it easier for the body to get rid of it. The treatment is done in the hospital or at home, according to the child's age and health.

The child may be placed in an incubator if the doctor advised to conduct light treatment in the hospital, where neon lights placed above the particular child.
  By having the baby in the incubator, it helps him all his clothes, and a special mask is placed on the eyes to protect them from the light. As the child on the one hand flipping to the other to keep the rest, which helps to light reaches more bilirubin.

If the doctor advised to conduct light therapy at home, you can use a blanket dedicated to this purpose. This blanket is made of special optical fibers are sending a special light to make it easier for the body to get rid of bilirubin. The blanket can be used at home when the mother to carry her child, this method does not require a mask placed over his eyes.

 Light treatment period ranging from a few days to a week, it can be turned off as soon as the treatment is reduced to normal levels of bilirubin.

Light is effective and very safe method of treatment, most children and incurred significantly.

Light may cause dehydration treatment, so the frequent breastfeeding is very important. It can also cause stools Lina a green color, which is normal wear off at the end of treatment.

 Some children sleep very well during the treatment period, while disturbed sleep system with each other, which is normal.

In rare cases, when bilirubin levels are too high or when the required speed of light therapy does not work, the child-rich blood Balbalieropan normal blood substitutes.

Additional treatments or different situation may require if jaundice caused by other more rare or more serious diseases. And teaches health care specialist the patient what is best in the belief of the child.

 Conclusion

Newborn jaundice is very common condition, caused by the accumulation of bilirubin, bilirubin and material remains in the aging red blood cells. The body gets rid of that article by the liver and lower intestinal tract.

If the body is unable to get rid of bilirubin, it is possible that accumulates in the skin and whites of the eyes, causing a change in their color to light yellow.

There are many different causes of newborn jaundice, as some children are born excessive numbers of red blood cells, and can not get rid of bilirubin their bodies naturally. In other cases, it may be a child born incomplete growth of the liver, and thus not be able to get rid of the bilirubin properly. There are other causes as well.

 Most cases do not require treatment for newborn jaundice. The light treatment common treatment method, this method relies on special bilirubin lights change of structure, so that makes it easier for the body to get rid of it.

Bilirubin can travel to the brain, causing permanent damage. But newborn jaundice is not a serious condition in the habit, and often go away on their own or treated easily.

 Be sure to examine the newborn jaundice of the child, it helps a simple examination of the skin or blood doctor to see if the bilirubin level is high in the child. If the child left the hospital within 72 hours of birth, the mother must take him to the pediatrician to make sure you do not receive jaundice.
