Newborn jaundice is caused by increased bilirubin production due to red blood cell destruction after birth, resulting from changes in the environment. Jaundice is categorized into pathological jaundice and physiological jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually does not require treatment and does not cause adverse effects on the baby. However, if accompanied by factors such as infection or trauma that lead to excessive bilirubin production, and the bilirubin level exceeds the safe range, pathological jaundice may occur, necessitating timely medical treatment to avoid the development of kernicterus.
