Neonatal Jaundice is a common condition in newborns, characterized by a yellowing of the skin and eyes. This occurs when there is an excess of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. Newborns often have immature liver function, which can lead to a temporary inability to process bilirubin effectively. Most cases of neonatal jaundice are mild and resolve on their own within a few weeks. However, severe jaundice can lead to complications, such as kernicterus, a rare but serious condition that can affect brain function. Treatment options include phototherapy, which helps to lower bilirubin levels.
