Neonatal jaundice is very common finding in newborn babies.Albumin is synthesized in liver. Unconjugated bilirubin binds to albumin which helps in its transport. Bilirubin toxicity is reduced on the tissues This in turn reduces the bilirubin toxicity on the tissues. Transport and binding capacity are reduced and hence determination of at-risk neonates early on will help to avoid the complications associated with neonatal jaundice. The present study reviewed association between cord albumin and development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
