-Diabetic mom $ infant w hyperbilirubinemia- - pindi - ArchivalUser - 12-06-2008
why do u see inceased bili in a baby born to a diabetic mom?
which one is neurotoxic unconjugated or conjugate bilirubin?

Newborn jaundice to the babies of DM mother is due to polycythemia and liver immaturity.
unconjug bil causes kernicterus.
