Transcutaneous Bilirubinometry: A New Light on an Old Subject
Keyword(s):
The role of bilirubin as a cause of central nervous system morbidity in the newborn infant has been well recognized for several decades. The specific serum concentration that leads to cellular injury, as well as the precise mechanism of damage, are as yet unclear but general principles of therapy have been established. Early detection of hyperbilirubinemia is based on the clinical assessment of dermal icterus followed by appropriate serum tests to determine the degree of serum bilirubin elevation. The relationship of dermal icterus and serum bilirubin concentration has intrigued clinicians for more than a century.1 In an attempt to utilize skin color as an index of hyperbilirubinemia many techniques have been investigated.
