High levels of Bilirubin are toxic to brain cells, and severe jaundice poses the risk of bilirubin passing into the brain and causing damage. It’s important to know when and how to screen for it and to use gentle and effective phototherapy treatment when needed. Here, you can discover different testing and treatment methods and learn when to use each one. Take advantage of useful research tools, learn how to use our effective newborn jaundice-related products and get information on how to support parents. With the right tools and training, neonatal jaundice can be easily managed.
