Abstract
Newborns frequently experience unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, which can lead to severe complications if left untreated. Phototherapy, a non-invasive and effective treatment, converts bilirubin into water-soluble forms. Despite its overall safety, phototherapy is discovered to be linked with various adverse effects and its effects on hematological profiles need more investigation.
