Abstract

Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a frequent clinical finding in the first week of life, observed in 60% of full-term babies. The majority of instances of newborn hyperbilirubinemia are physiological, but kernicterus and irreversible brain damage may result if the condition lasts for a long period and the bilirubin level is noticeably raised. Physiological polycythemia, a shortened fetal red blood cell lifetime, and restricted hepatic absorption, conjugation, and elimination of bilirubin are the causes. Aim: To study the neonatal jaundice (Navjaat Kamala) in Ayurveda. Materials And Methods: Varoius samhita’s, research journals and articles. Discussion: This could be considered much like the traits of Kamala defined by means of Kasyapa Acharya in Kasyapa Samhita. The signs and signs of Kamala associated with Shishu are defined in Vedana Adhyaya, Sutrasthana, Kashyapa Samhita, that's considered the special textual content of Ayurvedic pediatrics.
