Home blue light lamp in the treatment of jaundice, for the main unconjugated bilirubin elevation of hemolytic jaundice, hepatocellular jaundice, the therapeutic effect is not clear, and for the main conjugated bilirubin elevation of obstructive jaundice is clear no therapeutic effect. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with jaundice should consult the doctor in time and go to the hospital for regular treatment.
The principle of blue light irradiation for the treatment of jaundice is that unconjugated bilirubin is converted into a water-soluble isomer by blue light irradiation, which can be discharged directly through urine and bile. Among them, 450~550nm blue light irradiation has the best effect, so blue light irradiation can only treat jaundice with elevated unconjugated bilirubin.
There is no clear guarantee whether the blue light lamp for home use is mainly 450~550nm wavelength; and whether the patient is suffering from jaundice mainly due to elevated unconjugated bilirubin needs to be examined in the hospital in order to be determined. In addition, even if the patient suffers from hemolytic jaundice or hepatocellular jaundice, which is mainly caused by the elevation of unconjugated bilirubin, the patient should not be treated with blue light irradiation only.
If the patient suffers from jaundice, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to identify the cause and ask the doctor to regulate the treatment.
