  4. Production of Bilirubin

  5. Conjugation of Bilirubin

  6. Problems at the level of the RBC • Hemolysis (ABO, Rh, minor antigens) • Hemolysis (Enzyme Deficits--G6PD deficiency) • Bruising • Cephalohematoma • Increased Load (polycytemia) • Membrane Defects

  7. Direct and Indirect Coombs

  8. Problems at the level of the LIVER • Sluggish enzyme (UGT 1A1) • Crigler-Najjar (rare) • Gilbert’s (rare) • Direct hyperbilirubinemia (always pathologic)

  9. Problems at the level of the GUT • Poor feeding • Obstruction • Infant of a diabetic mother The entero-hepatic circulation kicks in!
