Hyperbilirubinemia in African American neonates: clinical issues and current challenges
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryAfrican American neonates evidence a low incidence of hyperbilirubinemia yet account for more than 25% of the reported kernicterus cases in the USA. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency accounts for ∼60%, and late preterm gestation and ABO hemolytic disease ∼40% of these cases. Females heterozygous for G6PD A− harbor a population of G6PD-deficient red blood cells and are at risk for hyperbilirubinemia. Pre-discharge bilirubin measurement coupled with gestational age enhances the identification of neonates at hyperbilirubinemia risk. Parental education at the time of birth hospitalization discharge combined with timely follow-up may help to reduce the risk of developing hazardous hyperbilirubinemia.
