ETIOLOGICAL AND PATHOGENETIC MECHANISMS OF LINGERING NEONATAL JAUNDICE. PROGNOSTICATOIN AND DIFFERENTIATED MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN WITH HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA

Abstract

During the last decade the amount of children with lingering hyperbilirubinemia has significantly increased. The cause of this phenomenon is unclear, as well as there are no uniform criteria for the choosing of appropriate management of children with lingering jaundice. The authors offer the option for the follow-up of such children.
