Looking For Best Phototherapy Treatment for Newborn Jaundice in Hyderabad, India
Neonatal jaundice is a common condition seen in newborns, characterised by yellowing of the skin and eyes due to increased bilirubin levels. It usually appears within the first few days after birth. At PACE Hospitals, Hyderabad, we provide advanced phototherapy treatment of jaundice in newborns in Hyderabad, India, to safely reduce bilirubin levels and prevent complications like kernicterus.
What Is Neonatal Jaundice?
Neonatal jaundice occurs when a baby’s liver is not mature enough to process bilirubin efficiently. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. When it accumulates, it causes the baby’s skin and eyes to turn yellow.
Causes of Neonatal Jaundice
Physiological jaundice – Common in most newborns due to immature liver function
Breastfeeding jaundice – Caused by insufficient milk intake
Blood group incompatibility – ABO or Rh incompatibility between mother and baby
Premature birth – Preterm infants have underdeveloped livers
Infections or genetic disorders – Rare causes but may need additional evaluation
Phototherapy is a light-based treatment used to break down excess bilirubin in a baby’s body. The baby is placed under special blue spectrum lights, which convert bilirubin into a water-soluble form that can be easily eliminated through urine and stool.
Conventional Phototherapy: Uses fluorescent or LED lights placed above the baby.
Fiberoptic Phototherapy: Uses a light-emitting pad or blanket wrapped around the baby.
Intensive Phototherapy: Combines multiple light sources for faster bilirubin reduction in severe cases.
