What are the reasons for high jaundice in newborns? Revealing the three reasons for high jaundice in newborns

Jaundice is a relatively common local disease, which can generally be divided into two types: physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice often occurs in some infants and young children, while pathological jaundice will gradually worsen with the progression of the disease. It is recommended that patients should undergo hemolytic tests, and Yinzhihuang Granules can be used to control and treat the further development of jaundice.

Jaundice is a common disease symptom. The occurrence of this disease is generally caused by bilirubin metabolism disorder. Patients often have increased bilirubin concentration in serum, which is mainly manifested as the sclera, mucous membranes, and skin tissues being stained yellow. Jaundice usually occurs in some infants and young children. So, what are the reasons for high neonatal jaundice?

1: Excessive production of red blood cells. Physiological jaundice is a physiological phenomenon unique to the neonatal period. This is mainly due to the excessive production of red blood cells in the fetus under low oxygen conditions in the mother's womb. Moreover, most of the red blood cells are not yet mature and are easily damaged. After the birth of the newborn, excessive bilirubin production will lead to jaundice in the newborn.

2: Bile duct obstruction. Clinically, there are many factors that can cause a high jaundice index value, which is mainly related to too much and too fast necrosis of red blood cells in the newborn's blood. If the absorption and excretion of bilirubin by the newborn's liver cells is functionally abnormal, causing bile duct obstruction, bilirubin cannot be excreted in time, it may cause bile stasis in the liver cells and cause jaundice.

3: Incompatibility of blood types between mother and child. In addition, if the blood types between mother and child are incompatible, it will also cause bilirubin to accumulate in the newborn's body and cannot be discharged, resulting in jaundice in the newborn. At the same time, pathological jaundice may be caused by some diseases suffered by the newborn. If the newborn suffers from asphyxia, premature birth, infection, etc., it may cause excessive jaundice in the newborn.

After a newborn develops jaundice, as parents we should first expose the child to the sun when the sunlight is not very strong, especially the child's skin. However, we must pay attention to protecting the child's eyes to avoid sunlight irritation to the eyes. We must also take measures to keep the baby warm and prevent cold. You can give the baby more boiled water every morning and evening to eliminate toxins in the body during urination.
