Prognosis of Prolonged Clinical Course Variants of Neonatal Conjugated Hyperbilirubinemia

The purpose of the study is to reveal risk factors that have a reliable effect on prolonged clinical course variants of prolonged conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Materials and Methods. There has been carried out a prospective study of clinical biological indexes in 100 children aged from 4 weeks to 3 months with manifestations of a prolonged variant of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia and 40 children without these manifestations.

Results. Based on the analysis of dynamics of total bilirubin level decrease and the characteristics of prolonged course of hyperbilirubinemia, there have been distinguished three variants of pathological condition: benign, undulating and resistant. And prognostic criteria of forming prolonged variants of neonatal conjugated hyperbilirubinemia have been determined.
