PATTERN OF PHYSIOLOGIC JAUNDICE AND INCIDENCE OF "EXAGGERATED PHYSIOLOGIC" HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA IN IRANIAN FULL-TERM INFANTS USING TRANSCUTANEOUS BILIRUBINOMETRY

Original Research
Original Research
Normal full-term infants were followed by serial transcutaneous bilirubinometry
over the first week of life. The pattern of physiologic jaundice in
our population was similar to that shown for white infants. Mean maximum
bilirubin peak was seen on day four of life and was also similar to that shown
for American white infants. The incidence of non physiologic hyperbilirubinemia
defined as 2 SD above the mean maximum peak was about three
times that reported for white infants, but similar to that reported for orientll .'
populations. Oxytocin and the type of delivery did not seem to affect this high
incidence. The role of breast feeding and G6PD deficiency needs to be
further defined.
