Effect of Ursodeoxycholic Acid on Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia in Neonates Treated With Phototherapy
Sponsor: Muhammad Aamir Latif
Summary
There is limited local data on the efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid combined with phototherapy. Therefore, the present study was planned to compare mean serum bilirubin levels in neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia receiving phototherapy alone with those receiving combination treatment with phototherapy and ursodeoxycholic acid.
