High Intensity Phototherapy: Double vs. Single

Hyperbilirubinemia

Intensive phototherapy in form of double light is used worldwide in the treatment of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. It has been debated if there is an upper limit on the efficiency of phototherapy. This study investigates whether double phototherapy reduces total serum bilirubin faster than single light during intensive phototherapy, using light emitting diodes, and whether there is an upper limit for the efficacy of phototherapy.

Hyperbilirubinemia and Retinopathy of Prematurity in Preterm Infants: a Retrospective Study.

ROPJaundice5 more

The goal of this retrospective observational study is to [learn about the correlation between hyperbilirubinemia and retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants. The main question it aims to answer are: • To evaluate the possible effect of neonatal jaundice linked to the presumed protective antioxidant action of bilirubin on the development of ROP, compared to a control group which, although presenting ROP, did not develop jaundice.

Hyperbilirubinemia

The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of a systematic extra intravenous fluid supplementation during phototherapy in comparison to a fluid supplementation due to short term demand in preterm infants.

Aluminium Foil as an Adjuvant to Phototherapy for Pathological Unconjugated Hyperbilirubinaemia...

Neonatal Jaundice

prospective single center pilot randomized open label clinical trial, conducted at the Neonatal care unit of Mansoura University Children's To assess the efficacy and safety of aluminum foil use in combination with phototherapy compared with phototherapy alone for pathological unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia in full term newborn We enrolled 234 infants in the study who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to treatment groups, either conventional phototherapy with aluminum foil or conventional phototherapy alone.

Glycerin Suppositories to Reduce Jaundice in Premature Infants

Idiopathic HyperbilirubinemiaNeonatal Hyperbilirubinemia1 more

The purpose of this study is to find out if giving glycerin suppositories will help decrease the length of time premature infants need phototherapy. The investigators hypothesize that glycerin suppositories (initiated along with phototherapy) will have no effect on reducing duration of phototherapy in premature infants with jaundice.

The Effects of Dexamethasone Administration on Jaundice Following Liver Resection

Liver DysfunctionHepatectomy2 more

The investigators were aiming to evaluate whether dexamethasone administration accelerates the recovery from hepatectomy-related jaundice and decreases the rates of post-hepatectomy liver failure and its safety in the subjects who developed elevated serum total bilirubin.

The Effects of Atazanavir-induced Hyperbilirubinemia During Human Endotoxemia

EndotoxemiaInflammation2 more

Excessive inflammation, production of free radicals and vascular injury are considered the main contributors to the development of organ dysfunction in patients with severe infections and sepsis. The endogenously produced unconjugated bilirubin is one of the most powerful anti-oxidants of the human body and the administration of bilirubin in animal experiments has been shown to protect from inflammation-induced death. However, bilirubin for human administration is not yet available. Therefore, we wish to exploit one of the side effects of atazanavir, a registered drug currently used as a protease inhibitor in HIV infected patients. Atazanavir inhibits the enzyme UPD glucuronosyl transferase enzyme (UGT1A1) and therefore increases endogenously produced bilirubin levels moderately. To study the effect of hyperbilirubinemia during inflammation we will apply the human endotoxemia model. The human endotoxemia model permits elucidation of key players in the immune response to a gram negative stimulus in vivo, therefore serving as a useful tool to investigate potential novel therapeutic strategies in a standardized setting. We hypothesize that atazanavir-induced hyperbilirubinemia has beneficial anti-inflammatory and vascular effects during human endotoxemia.

Phase II Study of Tin Mesoporphyrin vs Phototherapy for Hyperbilirubinemia in Premature Newborns...

Hyperbilirubinemia

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the effectiveness of a single dose of tin mesoporphyrin and special blue light phototherapy in controlling hyperbilirubinemia in premature newborns in Greece. II. Evaluate the dose of tin mesoporphyrin sufficient to alleviate the need for phototherapy without adverse effects in these newborns.

Safety of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) in the Setting of an Elevated Bilirubin

Hepatocellular CarcinomaBilirubinemia

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of selective transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the setting of an elevated total bilirubin, but relatively normal direct bilirubin.
