Kernicterus Lawyer Terre Haute, IN

What Exactly is Kernicterus?

Kernicterus is a potentially fatal condition caused by excessive bilirubin exposure in newborns. Bilirubin is a chemical found in breast milk that is formed when red blood cells degrade. Normally, the liver removes bilirubin from the body before it enters the urine and stool. Excess bilirubin in the bloodstream results from a lack of bilirubin removal. Kernicterus is a condition in which the brain is affected by high bilirubin levels. Kernicterus can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic conditions, prolonged labor or delivery, a lack of oxygen to the baby's brain, medications administered to the baby, infection, and birth trauma. 

Kernicterus can cause brain, eye, and other organ damage. Only one type of jaundice is irreversible. Kernicterus can cause permanent neurological damage, vision impairment, hearing loss, speech difficulties, learning disabilities, seizures, and even death. Kernicterus is a birth injury because it is the result of medical malpractice. A kernicterus lawyer can assist you in obtaining compensation for your child's injuries as well as ensuring that you receive proper care.

Kernicterus can result from birth asphyxia, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, or toxic substance exposure.
