Serum Zinc Level in Neonates with Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia
Background: The most common cause of hospital admission in the first month of life is the neonatal jaundice. Some factors [e.g., prenatal, neonatal factors, maternal factors, and environmental factors (such as zinc) influence the frequency of neonatal jaundice. In terms of neonates, it is proposed t...

Results: Level of serum zinc in neonates with non-hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia (103.3±36.56 ug/dl) was significantly lower than healthy neonates without jaundice (128.62 ± 40.83 ug/dl) and zinc deficiency in jaundiced neonates (25.3%) was statistically significant more than healthy neonates) 6.7%).
