Abstract excerpt
The most common causes of neonatal indirect hyperbilirubinemia are blood incompatibility and erythrocyte enzyme defects. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a guarantee of erythrocyte stability and capability of existence of red cells. We present here the results of a study on the effect of enzyme kinetics and different mutations on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in the Cukurova region. Two hundred healthy...
