Evaluating the effects of different doses of ursodeoxycholic acid on neonatal jaundice.
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study indicated that the administration of UDCA in addition to phototherapy could effectively decrease the length of hospital stay and bilirubin levels in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. However, further studies with a larger sample size are required before one can recommend the routine use of UDCA for the treatment of neonatal jaundice.
