Dr Sahibzada Aneesullah, Muhammad Fayaz, Dr Ghulam Murtaza Ali

Introduction: Jaundice refers to the yellow appearance of the skin that occurs with the deposition of bilirubin in the dermal and subcutaneous tissue. Aims and objectives: The basic aim of the study is to analyse the use of intensive phototherapy in management of transfusion in jaundice. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in PIMS Islamabad during October 2018 to January 2019. This study was conducted to analyse the use of phototherapy for the management of transfusion in jaundice. The data was collected from 100 patients of both genders. In this study we done the liver function test for all the patients after giving phototherapy. Blood sample was drawn for the biochemical analysis of serum. Blood was centrifuged at 4000rpm and serum was separated. Then we done the micronutrients level and ALT levels of all patients. Results: The data was collected from 100 hepatitis patients. The mean age was 36.5 + 10.1 years and BMI of the patients was 21.7 ± 2.7 (kg/m2). The mean duration of HIV was 38 ± 43.8 months. There were non-significant relationship present in diseased group treated with different therapies like interferon and glutathione as as p<0.05. The level of micronutrients become decreases in diseased group. Conclusion: It is concluded that phototherapy is the best treatment for the management of jaundice. Long-term follow-up trials should be performed to evaluate the long-term effects in newborn infants with severe indirect hyperbilirubinaemia who are treated with this therapeutic modality.
