Question
Answer
__% of infants develop jaundice in the 1st week   65  
🗑
Jaundice that appears on days 2-3 and disappears by day 7 (day 14 if premature) is called:   Physiologic jaundice  
🗑
__ fed babies are at higher risk for physiologic jaundice   Breast  
🗑
Jaundice with bilirubin >5mg/dL   Clinical jaundice  
🗑
What is the bodily progression of jaundice   Cephalocaudal: starts at the head and moves down  
🗑
In elevated conjugated bilirubin, suspect:   biliary atresia  
🗑
Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia that results from increase in RBC destruction (antibody mediated hemolysis) is Coombs:   positive  
🗑
Non-immune hemolysis is Coombs:   Negative  
🗑
How does phototherapy work for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia?   Unconjugated bilirubin in skin is converted to water soluble isomers that are excreted without conjugation  
🗑
Risks for physiologic jaundice   Preterm. Affected sibling. Asian > white > AA. Breastfeeding-associated jaundice is common. Tx = phototherapy  
🗑
Pathologic unconjugated bilirubinemia: causes related to increased production:   Increased RBC destruction due to antibody-mediated hemolysis (ABO or Rh incompatibility). Nonimmune (hereditary spherocytosis, G6PD, cephalohematoma, polycythemia, ileus ).  
🗑
Pathologic unconjugated bilirubinemia: causes related to decreased conjugation rate   UDPGT deficiency. Crigler-Najar syndrome. Gilbert syndrome.  
🗑
Gives a direct reaction in the van den Bergh test:   Conjugated bilirubin  
🗑
Can cross placenta & is conjugated by mom’s enzymes   indirect/unconjugated bili  
🗑
Water-soluble; placenta is impermeable to:   Direct/conjugated bili  
🗑
Serious, rare, permanent deficiency of glucuronosyltransferase that results in severe indirect hyperbilirubinemia   Crigler-Najjar syndrome  
🗑
Unconjugated bili without hemolysis (usually ≤20 mg/dL) is likely to be due to:   Breast milk jaundice  
🗑
Jaundice >2 wks after birth =   Pathologic; probably direct bilirubinemia (DBil >2 or >20% of TBil)  
🗑
Begin phototherapy when indirect bili =   16-18 mg/dL  
🗑
Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is always:   pathologic  
🗑
Jaundice involving the face: total serum bili is approximately:   5 mg/dL  
🗑
Jaundice involving the abdomen: total serum bili is approximately:   15 mg/dL  
🗑
Jaundice involving the feet: total serum bili is approximately:   20 mg/dL  
🗑
