Prediction of Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia by The Cord Blood Alkaline ‎Phosphatase

Background: Owing to early discharge of neonates from the hospital, the readmission rate has been increased. Therefore, early detection of jaundice and prompt measures are important. Measurements of bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels in cord blood have been used for this function.    The aim...

Patients and Methods: This study carried out during the period from August 2019 to January 2020 in pediatric department [Al-Azher University Hospital in Damietta].

Significant indirect neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was considered.
