Kernicterus secondary to hyperbilirubinemia is well described in people, but has rarely been reported in dogs. Therapeutic plasma exchange has been used for decades in people to rapidly decrease serum bilirubin when hyperbilirubinemia progresses to neurologic signs, but to the authors' knowledge this has not been described in a dog.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
