Neonatal Hepatitis

Child (below 4 years), liver

Neonatal Hepatitis is a liver inflammation that occurs in newborns, usually within the first few months of life.
It is most often caused by viral infections (like cytomegalovirus, rubella, or hepatitis viruses), but can also result from metabolic or genetic disorders.
Babies with this condition commonly show jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes), poor feeding, and failure to gain weight.
Diagnosis is done through blood tests, liver function tests, and sometimes liver biopsy.
Treatment depends on the cause – supportive care, nutrition management, and in some cases, antiviral or specific therapies are needed.

Neonatal Jaundice

Child (below 4 years)

Neonatal jaundice is a common condition in newborns, marked by yellowing of the skin and eyes due to elevated bilirubin levels. It typically arises from the immature liver’s inability to process bilirubin efficiently. There are two types: physiological jaundice, which resolves within a couple of weeks, and pathological jaundice, which may indicate underlying health issues. Treatment includes monitoring bilirubin levels and may involve phototherapy or exchange transfusions. Early recognition and management are essential to prevent complications.
