Exam 2 Flashcards
(235 cards)
when does physiologic jaundice start
at least 24 hours old
breast-feeding jaundice is due to
inadequate breast milk intake leading to decreased excretion of bilirubin
breast-feeding jaundice improves when
intake is improved
breast milk jaundice starts when
5-7 days old
bilirubin levels in breast milk/breast feeding jaundice
not very high
when to evaluate physiologic jaundice
if still present at 2-3 weeks
breast milk jaundice eval
trial of formula
breast feeding jaundice treatment
increase breast milk, monitor I and O, supplement or change to formula
cause of physiologic jaundice
increased bili production (high RBC turnover) and decreased excretion
when does physiologic jaundice peak
3-5 days
when does physiologic jaundice resolve
1-2 weeks
when does breast milk jaundice peak
< 3 weeks
when does breast milk jaundice resolve
< 3 months
breast milk jaundice due to
slow breakdown of bilirubin
what to evaluate in neonate with jaundice
CBC/diff, CMP, UA, US (look for atresia), serial HFP, blood type, Coombs, genetic analysis, viral panels, HIDA scan, biopsies
most common treatment for indirect hyperbilirubinemia
bili lights
intrahepatic cholestatic jaundice causes
hepatocyte injury (infectious, metabolic, genetic, toxic, endocrine)
extrahepatic cholestatic jaundice causes
biliary atresia, choledochal cyst, biliary sludge
characteristics of intrahepatic cholestasis
sick patient, patent bile ducts, elevated direct and total bilirubin
characteristics of extrahepatic cholestasis
asymptomatic, duct obstruction, elevated direct and total bilirubin
cholestasis red flags
failure to thrive, poor feeding, lethargy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, abnormal labs (direct hyperbilirubinemia, elevated LFTs, hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia)
red flags of advanced chronic liver disease
fatigue, GI bleeds, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, low platelets, low WBC, elevated direct bilirubin, elevated INR
what is infant dyschezia
a functional condition characterized by at least 10 minutes of straining and crying before successful or unsuccessful passage of soft stool
infant dyschezia population
otherwise healthy infant < 6 months old
