1. What is the level of jaundice in newborns that causes bilirubin encephalopathy?
If the newborn is a full-term infant and the total blood bilirubin exceeds 342umol/L , can cause bilirubin encephalopathy, that is, kernicterus. The bilirubin value of kernicterus in premature infants may be lower than that in full-term infants. A large amount of bilirubin enters the central nervous system through the blood-brain barrier and can damage the brain nerves. The remaining sequelae seriously affect the growth and development of newborns in the later period.
2. How to diagnose bilirubin encephalopathy
Bilirubin Encephalopathy, formerly known as riboflavosis. It refers to when unconjugated bilirubinemia occurs, free bilirubin passes through the blood-brain barrier and is deposited in the basal nerve nucleus, thalamus, hypothalamic nucleus, nuclear wall, ventricular nucleus, caudate nucleus, cerebellum, cerebellum, cerebral cortex and spinal cord. Other parts inhibit the use of oxygen in brain tissue, causing brain damage. It can further improve the comprehensive analysis and diagnostic level of cranial magnetic resonance examination.
