#Neonatal_Phototherapy_Works

Principle of Phototherapy:

Phototherapy involves exposing the baby's skin to a specific type of light. The light penetrates the skin and converts bilirubin into water-soluble forms that can be more easily excreted through urine and stool.

Mechanism of Action:

The light alters the structure of bilirubin molecules in the skin, converting them into isomers such as lumirubin, which are more soluble in water.

These soluble forms can then be processed by the liver and eliminated from the body without the need for further conjugation.
