- Abstract
To assess the efficacy of Sn-mesoporphyrin (SnMP), a potent inhibitor of bilirubin production, in: a) moderating the need for phototherapy (PT) in full-term breastfed infants with plasma bilirubin concentrations (PBC) of >/=256.5 micromol/L and </=307.8 micromol/L (>/=15 mg/dL and </=18 mg/dL, respectively) that were reached between >/=48 and </=96 hours of age; b) diminishing the time required for the PBC to decline to </=222.3 micromol/L (</=13 mg/dL) (closure of the case); c) decreasing the number of bilirubin determinations required for monitoring hyperbilirubinemia.
