Can bilirubin/albumin ratio predict neurodevelopmental outcome in severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia? A 3-month follow up study

Abstract Background The risk of kernicterus and BIND may be in part determined by total serum bilirubin (TSB) and by the level of non-albumin bound free bilirubin, which can easily pass the blood–brain barrier. Free bilirubin (Bf) seems a more reliable predictor for bilirubin neurotoxicity. Bilirubi...
