Abstract
The distribution of various pathological unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia causes and their consequences among neonates presenting to the pediatrics department of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Gujarat, India, were evaluated in the current study. The effects of pathological unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia on neonates presenting to the pediatrics department of a Gujarat, India tertiary care teaching hospital were evaluated. After obtaining permission from the institutional ethics committee, 81 neonates presenting or referred to the NICU of the department of Pediatrics of the study institution with a diagnosis of unconjugated neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were recruited into the study. It was observed that the mean hemoglobin level was 15.5±3.2 gm/dl, mean total leukocyte count was 10.3±4.9 X103/cm3, total platelet count was 2.1±1.1 lakh/cm3, mean CRP was 17.6±40.3 and mean hematocrit was 46.3±10.8 respectively in the participants at the time of their admission. The most frequent causes of unconjugated neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in the neonates were sepsis and ABO incompatibility. The condition was effectively managed with a significant reduction in levels of indirect and transcutaneous bilirubin levels and a high survival rate. The distribution of causes did not differ significantly between male and female neonates.
