Abstract
• This article discusses the production, transport, and excretion of bilirubin in the newborn period. The causes, significance, and treatment of unconjugated and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia are different; and because this is so, it is important to review the main causes and management of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the newborn period could be either due to hepatocellular dysfunction or extrahepatic biliary obstruction. There are several recent advances in early differentiation and management of these two entities.
