Warning Signs

Kernicterus is caused by high levels of bilirubin, a perfectly natural byproduct of the normal functioning of the body's red blood cells. When the bilirubin levels get too high, the baby will unfailingly show signs jaundice, a yellowing of the skin. Jaundice needs to be closely followed and treated properly. If it is not, it can cause brain damage, called kernicterus.
