Jaundice in babies is generally related to high bilirubin, impaired bilirubin metabolism in the liver and impaired bile excretion.
1. Excessive bilirubin: generally due to the destruction of excessive red blood cells in the baby’s body after birth, excessive bilirubin will be produced, resulting in jaundice.
2. Liver bilirubin metabolism disorder: mainly due to infection and hypoxia, the liver itself is immature, too much bilirubin is gathered in the body, and metabolism is too slow, causing jaundice.
3. Bile excretion disorders: such as bile duct obstruction, biliary atresia and other defects, is also an important cause of jaundice.
Baby jaundice may also have other causes, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to give targeted treatment.
