Neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery - what does this mean
Neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery is caused by an immature liver, which is unable to process the excessive bilirubin produced by the premature infant. the bilirubin accumulates in the blood and tissues, leading to yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice).
What happens during the disease - neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery
Neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery is caused by the lack of maturity of the liver in preterm infants, which leads to impaired bilirubin metabolism and decreased bilirubin excretion. this results in an accumulation of bilirubin in the blood, leading to jaundice. additionally, preterm infants may have a reduced ability to absorb glucose, which can lead to decreased production of conjugated bilirubin in the liver, further contributing to the jaundice.

Neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery - Prevention
Prevention of neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery can be achieved by ensuring that the mother receives adequate antenatal care, including regular check-ups, adequate nutrition, and proper management of any infection during pregnancy. additionally, early delivery of the baby can be avoided through careful monitoring of the mother's health and the baby's development.
