**The children have [[red blood cells]] twice or more than twice the number compared with the adults have and with shorter [[lifespan]].
 
**Increased rate of the red blood cells destruction produces elevated levels of [[bilirubin]] which ends up in [[jaundice]].

**The newborn [[Gastrointestinal tract|gastrointestinal gut]] is considered [[sterile]] so, a small amount of the unconjugated bilirubin is converted to conjugated and excreted. Most of the [[unconjugated bilirubin]] is recirculated through the [[enterohepatic circulation]].
===Pathogenesis of Adult jaundice===
**Unconjugated [[hyperbilirubinemia]] is the predominant form of [[physiological]] jaundice.
* Jaundice in adult patients classified into two major types:

** [[Conjugated bilirubin|Conjugated]] [[hyperbilirubinemia]]
**The majority of neonatal jaundice is due to pathological conditions. Pathological neonatal jaundice is due to acquired or [[inherited]] conditions.
=== Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia ===
**Pathological jaundice is the result of an increase in the level of [[unconjugated bilirubin]] which is named as "Indirect [[hyperbilirubinemia]]".
The main [[pathophysiology]] of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia includes:<ref name="pmid16512459">{{cite journal |vauthors=Duseja A, Das A, Das R, Dhiman RK, Chawla Y, Bhansali A |title=Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis--is it Gilbert's syndrome? |journal=Trop Gastroenterol |volume=26 |issue=3 |pages=123–5 |date= 2005 |pmid=16512459 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
**It includes some features like the appearance of jaundice within the first day of life, persistent jaundice manifestations more than two weeks, and [[dark urine]].

Overview

Bilirubin is the catabolic product of the heme which is the main component of the red blood cells. Bilirubin is formed in the liver and spleen then it passes through several process in order to be metabolized. Metabolism processes include hepatic uptake, conjugation, clearance and excretion of the bilirubin in the bile. Jaundice develops due to increase the level of bilirubin and deposition under the skin and cause the yellow discoloration of the skin. Pathogenesis of neonatal jaundice includes physiologic process of bilirubin accumulation or pathological mechanism. The pathological jaundice may be acquired or inherited. Acquired neonatal jaundice include Rh hemolytic disease, ABO incompatibility disease, and hemolytic disease due to G6PD enzyme deficiency. Inherited neonatal jaundice is due to defect of one of the processes of bilirubin metabolism and it concludes some inherited syndromes. Inherited neonatal jaundice include Gilbert's syndrome, Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I and II, Lucey-Driscoll syndrome, Dubin-Johnson syndrome, and Rotor syndrome.
