“…It is characterised by the yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes and the sclera of the eyes. Jaundice occurs due to an increased level of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells in the blood 1 . Bilirubin only residues when there is an excess of it, which indicates either unnecessary production or inadequate excretion.…”

Jaundice is a yellow discolouration of the skin, another mucous membrane and the conjunctival membrane surrounding the sclera. It is a clinical symptom of either underlying hepatocellular dysfunction biliary obstruction or anomalies of bilirubin metabolism. This clinical entity can be compared with Kamla as described in Ayurveda. The strength of Ayurveda in treating jaundice should be emphasised. This is a case report of a 24-year-old male patient who visited Kayachikitsa out-patient department with the chief complaints of Agnimandya (reduced appetite), Chardi (vomiting), Udarashool (pain in the abdomen), Hrullas (nausea), Peet varniya Netra (yellow discolouration of eyes), Daurbalya (lassitude), Vibhandha (constipation) for seven days. The patient was effectively treated with mild shodhana (bio-purification) with Nitya virechana (purgation therapy) followed by medicinal treatment for 30 days. After 4-5 days, there was a significant improvement in all clinical features and a substantial improvement in liver function. The treatment was given by considering the vitiation of Pitta and Rakta. It can be concluded that this disease was managed and liver functions were improved by ayurvedic management.

This study aimed to assess the magnitude of hematological toxicity and associated factors in newborns with hyperbilirubinemia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to December 2023. A total of 247 newborns were included . The data were collected using questionnaires and a data extraction sheet. Four 4 ml of blood was collected. A Sysmex KX-21 analyzer was used for blood analysis, and a Mindray BS-240 analyzer was used for bilirubin measurement. The data were entered into Epi-data and analyzed by SPSS. The logistic regression was used. The P value was set at 0.05. Before phototherapy, the hematological toxicities, such as anemia, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia, were 45.7%, 22.2%, and 6.1%, respectively, whereas after phototherapy, anemia and thrombocytopenia, significantly increased, but the leucopenia, significantly decreased. The risk of developing anemia increased, 3.5, 2.7, and 2.1-fold among newborns with bilirubin > 18 mg/dl, with Rh blood group incompatibility, and treated with intensive phototherapy, respectively. Both low birth weight and intensive phototherapy increased the incidence of thrombocytopenia by 2 and 3.4-fold, respectively. Hematological toxicity was found to be a severe public health issue in newborns. Thus, strict follow-up and early detection of toxicity by considering aggravation factors are necessary.

Abstract Backgrounds: Jaundice occurs in most newborn due to increased bilirubin concentration. Jaundice is observed during the first week after birth in approximately 60% of term neonates. A high level of bilirubin is neurotoxic and may cause neonatal kernicterus, auditory neuropathy or death. Objectives: to compare the Rh group compatibility, serum bilirubin (total and direct), serum albumin and several liver enzymes between physiological and pathological neonatal jaundice Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study for one hundred neonates with jaundice divided into group 1: 50 newborns with physiological jaundice, Group 2: 50 newborns with pathological jaundice. Blood samples taken from each patient use to determination of Rh Group and blood group, serum bilirubin (total and direct, liver enzymes and albumin concentration. Results: in the present study Rh Compatibility show a significant relationship between newborns with physiological and pathological jaundice (p<0.05). Serum bilirubin (total and direct), serum albumin concentration and several liver enzymes were significantly higher when compare newborns with pathological jaundice with newborns of physiological jaundice (p<0.05). Conclusion: these finding demonstrate that newborns with pathological jaundice have higher concentrations of these parameters as compared with physiological jaundice .
