Re: New born jaundice sackatdoc - 10-21-08 03:32 breast milk jaundice is what i know due to breast milk,and resolves once the breast milk is substituted with top milk,now with logic if i think i can say may be due to hepatitis positive mother feeding and giving infection to baby and causing jaundice,,,,,(just a guess, be easy)

Re: New born jaundice
mohhaider - 10-21-08 09:24 Nice imaginary thoughts ,but sorry it's not the right answer .Breast feeding jaundice is due to inadequate calories ,ocuring in the first days of life .
Breast milk jaundice is due to glucoronidase present in some breast milk ,usually occuring in the 2nd week.

Re: New born jaundice sackatdoc - 10-21-08 14:28 where did you get these jumbled phrases, nice info, but why inadequate calories, which condition??explain more please

Re: New born jaundice mohhaider - 10-21-08 15:59 It's my pleasure to to do so ,Mothers,especialy first time breast feeding ,that do not provide their neonates adequate feeding ( and so inadequate calories ),the newborns are at increased risk for developing jaundice ,that's called breast feeding jaundice .
It's not jumbled phrases my friend ,you can say it's confusing ,but it's preasent .Refrence Kaplan lecture notes for STEP 2 CK .

Re: New born jaundice sackatdoc - 10-21-08 18:08 yes present but only in books, not here in my mind, i have apparently read all of that months back

Re: New born jaundice mohhaider - 10-22-08 00:24 Okay Sackatdoc, you may see a case like this one day in the future and you may remember that now at least for sometime .The idea is that inadeqate calories may cause jaundice in the first few days of life .

Re: New born jaundice sackatdoc - 10-22-08 06:58 yeah the point is clear already, but what i'm telling is i have read these topics but everything just dissapeared without a trace of it now, so have to devise a plan
#8
Re: New born jaundice mohhaider - 10-22-08 08:46 Yes ,many of you read before might be forgoton ,but I think it's unconscious mind and you will remember them easier than as if you never read them .

Re: New born jaundice niusha - 10-23-08 00:30 In fact I want to know by which mechanisems loss of calories cause jundice ..it's indirest hyperbilirobinemia, isn't it? mm it's not by hemolysis, is it?
#10
Re: New born jaundice mohhaider - 10-23-08 00:35 In fact ,the breast feeding jaundice Vs breast milk jaundice are described in the lecture notes as I wrote here ,I don't know further details beyond inadequate calories .May be inadequate calories will affect live function of conjucation of bilirubin .
