Jaundice

the activity of the enzyme UDP-glucuronyl transferase is low in the newborns.so UDP- glucuronic acid for conjugation is limited. this leads to high level of unconjugated bilirubin (beyond 25mg/dl) .it may cross the blood brain barrier resulting in hyperbilirubinemic toxic encephalopathy or kernicterus .
