Summary
Guidelines from the Task Force on Hyperbilirubinemia of the Italian Society of Neonatology on the assessment and management of neonatal cholestasis. They address prolonged jaundice beyond 14 days and the differential diagnosis between benign unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia and pathological conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. The emphasis is on timely diagnosis to optimise outcomes while avoiding unnecessary, painful or costly investigations. They are aimed at neonatologists and family paediatricians.
