RESUMO
Hepatobiliary scintigraphy of infants being examined for persistant neonatal jaundice is best carried out using mebrofenin, a 99m Tc-labeled IDA derivative. This article summarizes the most frequently occurring etiologies of persisting neonatal jaundice and the diagnostic work-up of this condition. Perinatal obliteration of extrahepatic bile ducts requires immediate surgery, whereas other causes of persisting jaundice may be treated medically and/or conservatively.
