Hyperbilirubinemia Congenital

At birth or in the first months of a child’s life, after a normal vaginal birth, the level of bilirubin in his blood is about 34 µmol/l. After passing meconium, the normal first stool after birth, it should decrease to normal within a few days or the first week to allow normal brain development for the baby to continue. However, some children experience a significant increase in bilirubin levels, called hyperbilirubicemia, which interferes with normal brain development. This article will discuss hyperbilirubincemia, its types, symptoms and treatment.

Hyperbilirubinemia is the accumulation of excess fluid in the blood

Hyperbilirubinemia (Hyperbilirubinemia, GER) is an increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood, exceeding the level that is usually detected under normal physiological conditions. This means a high content of conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin, which results from the destruction of hemoglobin formed in blood cells. GE can be either acquired or congenital.

Congenital forms of this disease are less common than their acquired counterparts, but they can greatly complicate the patient’s life and cause the development of a number of health problems. Define
