Background: Jaundice is a condition that makes the skin, body tissues and fluids yellowish in color. You often see the color on the skin or the white parts of the eyes. The yellow color is caused by the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a pigment that leaks into the blood when red blood cells break down. This study aimed to identify jaundice and its relationship to the occurrence of jaundice in newborns with blood groups and its relationship to anemia, to study jaundice, to reveal its causes and what are the methods of diagnosis and treatment methods in all respects, and to clarify the extent of its spread. To the effect of jaundice on the health of the newborn and to know whether the effect of jaundice persists for advanced periods of the patient’s life, the study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which are: Anemia, yellowing of the skin and eyes, and an enlarged spleen are the symptoms of jaundice, a hereditary condition brought on by a genetic defect in the membrane of red blood cells. The red cells in hemolytic jaundice are less elastic, rounder, and more fragile than normal red cells. Red blood cells frequently become caught in constrictive blood vessels, such as the spleen, which causes them to degrade and result in anemia. An enlarged spleen results from red cell blockage of the spleen. This occurs when red blood cells release their hemoglobin. The heme fraction then produces bilirubin, and too much bilirubin causes gallstones to develop even in young children. Iron-rich red blood cells are also destroyed by excess iron.
