Education of primary health care workers about the dangers, signs, and management of
neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is also essential [7].
Increased incidence of
neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in preterm and low birth weight babies can be explained on the basis of hepatic immaturity, increased bilirubin load, decreased synthesis of ligandin (Y protein) and decreased UDPG (T) activity.

The new treatment, which he calls an important "first step" toward fulfilling that dream, "...represents a promising and new approach to the prevention of

Meanwhile
neonatal hyperbilirubinemia might be a serious concern in premature neonates with delayed cord clamping, [25] and in our study we also observed a trend of higher bilirubin levels in DCC group, but this difference was not statistically significant.
