“…Theoretically, a persistence of very high maternal bilirubin levels might disrupt the normal transplacental flow of fetal bilirubin, leading to intrauterine hyperbilirubinaemia. The actual threshold of maternal bilirubin level and the duration of elevation required to disrupt normal transplacental flow are unknown, and data are limited to case studies with conflicting results [27–30]. This study had a conservative rule whereby a maternal bilirubin level of 10 mg/dL at any time or a level of 7.5 mg/dL persisting for 2 weeks mandated discontinuation of the study drug.…”

“…In Gunn rats, maternal hyperbilirubinemia has been reported to decrease pregnancy rates ( 72 ). In humans, maternal hyperbilirubinemia increases preterm birth rates ( 73 ), but the prognosis for the infants is better in late pregnancy ( 74 ).…”
