Neonatal jaundice Yellowish staining of the skin and whites of the newborn's
eyes (sclerae) by pigment of bile (bilirubin) Breakdown of red blood cells (which release bilirubin into
the blood) and immaturity of the newborn's liver (which cannot effectively metabolize bilirubin and prepare it for excretion into urine)
Normal neonatal jaundice appears between the 2nd and 5th days of life and clears with time
Kernicterus – brain damage - lifelong disability
