In cases where patients receive poor or no treatment of<unk> , neurodevelopmental complications may follow the condition, eventually leading to hearing loss, visual impairment, and in severe cases, mortality. Hyperbilirubinemia Hyperbilirubinemia may be observed when hemolysis produces too much bilirubin through the excessive breakdown of red blood cells, and the bilirubin builds up in the patient's blood and tissue fluids without proper excretion. Untreated or inadequately treated hyperbilirubinemia will lead to other complications such as kernicterus. Kernicterus Chronic bilirubin encephalopathy, also known as kernicterus, is a brain-damaging complication associated with both preterm and full term infants with<unk> , where the large amounts of unconjugated bilirubin in the infants become neurotoxic. Kernicterus affects mainly the basal ganglia, and its effects can spread to the hippocampus, geniculate nuclei, and cranial nerve nuclei. Symptoms of kernicterus include athetoid cerebral palsy and in severe cases, may lead to death of the patient. Most cases of kernicterus develop in infants following early hospital discharge from phototherapy.
