Definition of Jaundice, neonatal
Jaundice, neonatal definition - medical term
Yellowish stai ning of the skin and whites of the
newborn's eyes (sclerae) by pigment of bile (bilirubin). In newborn babies a degree
of jaundice is normal. It is due to the breakdown of red blood cells (which release
bilirubin into the blood) and to the immaturity of the newborn's liver (which cannot
effectively metabolize the bilirubin and prepare it for excretion into the urine).
Normal neonatal jaundice typically appears between the 2nd and 5th days of life
and clears with time.
