Since the effect of phototherapy in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has been reported 30 years ago, phototherapy has been used widely for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, but the exact mechanism and the effect of light on the human body have not been fully determined. Free bilirubin level in the serum is an important indicator for kemicterus, a complication of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Free bilirubin level was...
