Which of the following is a common cause of neonatal jaundice
Question : Which of the following is a common cause of neonatal jaundice?
A. Hemolytic disease of the newborn
B. Neonatal sepsis
C. Breast milk jaundice
D. All of the above
Answer: D
Explanation: Neonatal jaundice is common in newborns. Hemolytic disease of the newborn (e.g., ABO incompatibility) causes excessive bilirubin production; neonatal sepsis impairs liver function, leading to decreased bilirubin metabolism; breast milk jaundice is related to substances in breast milk that affect bilirubin metabolism. All three are common causes of neonatal jaundice. Hence, the correct answer is D.
