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...
