Expert Rev of Obstet Gynecol. 2012;7(3):269-279. In summary, excess levels of urobilinogen and bilirubin in the urine may signal liver disease, and more research is needed to correlate these ...

Nanotechnology enables rapid jaundice detection in newborns using smartphones, offering a quick and non-invasive solution.

However, if too many red blood cells are breaking down continuously, excessive bilirubin accumulates, overwhelming the body’s ability to process it. It is akin to an overflowing trash bin.

Recently, the team of Professor Jiang Changlong from Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has recently developed an innovative ...

Infant jaundice occurs because the baby's blood contains an excess of bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin), a yellow pigment of red blood cells. It usually occurs because a baby's liver isn't mature enough ...

Non-invasive phototherapy shines high-intensity blue light on an affected infant’s skin, quickly breaking down excess bilirubin in the blood. That’s the standard treatment, at least, in hospitals ...

A bilirubin analyser is a device used to measure bilirubin levels and is often used in neonatal intensive units to screen new-borns for jaundice. The analysers either detect bilirubin levels in ...

This happens when there’s excess bilirubin, a pigment that is created during the natural breakdown of red blood cells in the body. Bilirubin is typically processed by the liver and removed from the ...
