Physical examination • Abdomen : soft, no distention, bowel sound positive, liver and spleen can’t be palpated. • CNS : normal reflexes, normal muscle tone
Problem list • Maternal teenage pregnancy • Preterm AGA male infant, NL, BW 2610 g , Apgar 10,10 • History of visible jaundice on 2nd day of life with phototherapy treatment for 4 days • Recurrent visible jaundice on DOL 7
Neonatal jaundice • A yellow discoloration of the skin, mucous membrane, and sclera in the first 4 weeks of life after birth. • Neonatal jaundice is visible when total serum bilirubin exceeds 5 mg/dl
Pathology • Bilirubin production • Hemolysis • Extravasation • Bilirubin conjugation • Impaired hepatic function • Bilirubin excretion • Biliary tract obstruction • Intestinal obstruction • Increase enterohepatic circulation
In this patient • DDX • Hemolytic jaundice • Breast feeding jaundice
Investigation • CBC with slide • TB/DB/MB • reticulocyte count • TSH • Coombs’ test • G6PD • Blood group normal
Investigation (21/9/07) • The blood examination was performed. • Microbilirubin : 21.4 mg/dL. • TB : 26.2 • DB : 2.5 • CBC : Hb 9.8 Hct 27.4% WBC 9440 (N 46% L 49% M 3% E 2%) Plt 484000 • MCV 83 RDW 18.1 anisocytosis 1+ poikilocytosis 1+ • reticulocyte count 3.11 (0.1-1.3) • TSH 3.08 mcu/ml (0-18)
Review blood smear • Normochromic normocytic RBC • Anisocytosis 2+ , poikilocytosis 1+, polychromasia few spherocyte 2+ • WBC no band form • Platelets adequate
Problem list • Maternal teenage pregnancy • Preterm AGA male infant, NL, BW 2610 g , Apgar 10,10 • History of visible jaundice on 2nd day of life with phototherapy treatment for 4 days • Recurrent visible jaundice on DOL 7 • anemia
Directhyperbilirubinemia Indirecthyperbilirubinemia Neonatal jaundice • Neonatal hepatitis • - Intrauterine infection • Biliary atresia • Sepsis • etc Coombs’ Test ,Blood types Negative Positive • Dx:Isoimmunization • Rh • ABO • Other Hemoglobin or Hct Low or normal High
Hemoglobin or Hct Low or normal High Coombs’ test negative • Dx: Polycythemia • Maternal-fetal transfusion • Twin-twin transfusion • Delay cord clamping • Intrauterine hypoxia Reticulocyte count High Normal RBC morphology Dx:-Physiologic jaundice -Extravascular blood in body tissue -Increase enterohepatic circulation -Breast milk jaundice -Hypothyroidism -Metabolic errors -Hormone+drugs Abnormal Non-specific Diagnostic Dx : -RBC abnormality -Hemoglobinopathy -Enzyme deficiency -Hemolysis-DIC /sepsis Dx: -Spherocytosis -Elliptocytosis -Stomatocytosis -Pyknocytosis
DDx • Hemolytic jaundice • Breast feeding jaundice
DDx • Hemolytic jaundice
Most likely diagnosis • Indirect hyperbilirubinemia from hemolysis -HS -Thalassemia
Treatment • Goals • Prevention of kernicterus • Treatment of underlying conditions • Maintenance of hydration and nutrition • Interventions • Intensive Phototherapy • Exchange transfusion
Phototherapy • Indication for early phototherapy • Bilirubin rising faster than 0.5mg/dL/hr or 5mg/dL/d • Persistent, severe metabolic or respiratory acidosis • Sepsis • Sick VLBW infants • Indication for phototherapy in infants >35 weeks gestation AAP: Clinical Practice Guideline: Management of Hyperbilirubinemia in the Newborn Infant 35 or More Weeks Gestation, July 2004
Exchange transfusion • Indication in infants 35 weeks gestation or more
In this patient Double phototherapy Hct/MB : 32/22.2 4 hours Hct/MB : 32/22.7 Pre-transfusion : Hct/MB 21/15.4 Exchange transfusion Post-transfusion : Hct/MB 31/8.9
Exchange transfusion • Action • Replacement of the neonate’s blood with donor blood that has normal level of serum bilirubin • Mechanism: removes bilirubin and antibodies from circulation and correct anemia • Most beneficial to infants with hemolysis • Generally never used until after intensive phototherapy attempted
Exchange transfusion • Indication • Intensive phototherapy fails • TB exceed the level indicated in guideline • Despite intensive phototherapy for 6 hrs • Signs of acute bilirubin encephalopathy
Principle of exchange transfusion • Two-volume exchange (160 ml/kg) • Push-pull method (5 ml/kg/2-3min) • Time 60-90 min • In case of blood group incompatibility , choose bl gr. which compatible with both mom and baby.
Plan of management • Continue breast feeding • Consult hematologist to find out the cause of hemolytic anemia -Inclusion body test : negative -Hb typing : pending • Observe clinical of kernicterus
Complication of neonatal jaundice • Acute bilirubin encephalopathy • The acute manifestations of bilirubin toxicity in the 1st week after birth. • Early phase: lethargic and hypotonic • Intermediate phase: stupor, irritability, high pitched cry fever, hypertonia • Advance phase: Retrocollis-opisthotonos, shrill cry, apnea, coma, sometimes seizure and death • Kernicterus • The chronic and permanent clinical sequelae of bilirubin toxicity
Discharge • Assessment before discharge • Predischarge bilirubin • Use nomogram to determine risk zone • Assessment of risk factors
Discharge • Assessment before discharge • Predischarge bilirubin • Use nomogram to determine risk zone • Assessment of risk factors
Follow-up Care • Plan based on • Age in hours at discharge • Risk of excessive hyperbilirubinemia • Availability and reliability of follow-up
Follow-up Care • Timing of follow-up
Follow-up Care • Follow up assessment should include • Body weight, % change from BW, adequacy of intake, the pattern of voiding and stooling, presence or absence of jaundice • Clinical judgment should be used to determine the need for a bilirubin measurement. • If there is any doubt about the degree of jaundice. Blood testing should be done.
Follow-up Care • Some harmful advice and beliefs have to be changed. All health personnel should not advise parents to supplement water or dextrose water to newborns or expose newborns to sunlight.
Follow-up Care • Parents should be educated and provided with adequate educational materials at discharge regarding jaundice, feeding adequacy and symptoms to watch for, the risks of untreated hyperbilirubinemia, and the need for close follow-up of their infants after discharge
