Care of the Jaundiced Neonate is a comprehensive and authoritative reference dedicated to the understanding, evaluation, and management of neonatal jaundice. Edited by leading experts in neonatal care, the book bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice, explaining how imbalances in bilirubin production and elimination can lead to dangerous levels of unconjugated bilirubin and potential kernicterus. It provides evidence-based guidance on all aspects of neonatal jaundice, from underlying physiology and genetics to treatment strategies and public health considerations.
