Jaundice
Jaundice, prevalent among newborns, manifests as skin and eye whites turning yellow. This arises from elevated bilirubin levels—resulting from the liver breaking down red blood cells—which the fledgling liver cannot promptly eliminate or expel. Mild jaundice is commonplace in premature infants and typically abates within 1 to 2 weeks. Blood type disparity between mother and baby, inadequate breast milk supply, childbirth-related bruising or internal bleeding, enzyme insufficiency, infection, liver ailment, or abnormal red blood cells might also trigger this condition. If your infant exhibits jaundice, connecting with a gastroenterologist is advisable. For assistance, consult a nearby Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates provider in Texas.

Recognizing Jaundice Indications
Severe jaundice indications encompass fever surpassing 100°F, escalating yellowish hue, feeding difficulties, augmented sleep, and heightened crying. Evaluating jaundice severity entails more than visual assessment; your expert generally orders a blood test to gauge bilirubin levels. Our Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates experts might propose supplementary assessments, including blood type, red blood cell count, and blood type discordance, to validate an existing issue.

Approaches to Addressing Jaundice
Diverse treatment avenues are pursued contingent on jaundice extent. Our Texas practitioners might propose augmenting feedings (up to 12 daily) as part of jaundice management. Severe scenarios might mandate phototherapy, employing blue wavelength light to disintegrate bilirubin. If excessive bilirubin accumulation persists despite phototherapy, a blood exchange could be required, where compromised blood is swapped for healthy blood cells via transfusion. Within hours, our team will evaluate the baby’s blood to assess the procedure’s effectiveness.
