What are the symptoms of neonatal jaundice?

Symptoms of neonatal jaundice include yellow skin, yellow urine, anemia, etc. If the jaundice is severe, timely cooperation with the doctor's treatment is also required.

1. Skin jaundice: If a newborn has jaundice, the more common symptom is yellowing of the skin, accompanied by yellowing of the sclera and the palms and soles of the feet.

2. Yellow urine: Neonatal jaundice can cause high levels of bilirubin in the blood, which will be excreted from the body through urine, causing the urine to turn yellow.

3. Anemia: Infant jaundice may be caused by hemolysis. More ABO and RH hemolytic newborns may cause red blood cell damage, leading to jaundice and anemia.

It may also cause edema, hepatosplenomegaly, and congestion and congestion of the skin. Neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. If the jaundice is not particularly severe, it may be caused by physiological jaundice, which can usually be temporarily observed. If the jaundice is more severe, it is mostly pathological jaundice, and it is also necessary to seek medical attention in time and cooperate with professional doctors for treatment, such as phototherapy, albumin transfusion, etc., to avoid bilirubin encephalopathy.
