Jaundice is one of the most serious diseases occurring among infants and may lead to serious damage if not treated properly. It is caused due to increased levels of bilirubin in the blood as the liver is unable to metabolize bilirubin in a proper way. There are three main types of jaundice: a) hepatocellular jaundice, which is caused by liver injury, b) hemolytic jaundice, which occurs due to the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells, and c) obstructive jaundice, which is caused due to obstructions in the bile duct.
Phototherapy technology is one of the most common methods for the treatment of jaundice in newborns.
