Cremer (Cremer, R., Perryman, P., and Richards, D. 1958) and others noted that jaundiced newborn infants exposed to sunlight seemed to appear less jaundiced than those not exposed to the light.

Hyperbilirubinemia Revisited,rall, results of these studies have shown that measurement of serum levels of unconjugated, conjugated, and/or total bilirubin may not be adequate for assessing the risk for kernicterus in newborn jaundiced infants. Especially measuring total bilirubin does not assess the contribution of unconjugate

Auditory Brainstem Response, nuclei involved with hearing This method has been used in evaluating potential early brain damage from high serum levels of unconjugated bilirubin. The concept is that small discreet brain regions such as the cochlear (eighth) nucleus is uniquely sensitive to toxic effects of unconjugated bilirubin
