Liabilities and expenses are both key components that are included in the company financial statements, and represent the outflows of funds to be made during the current period or at a future date. The main difference between liabilities and expenses are the timing under which they are realised.
What are the symptoms of newborn jaundice? Excess bilirubin in a newborn causes the yellowish or jaundiced colour of the skin and the eyes. Jaundice first appears in the infant's face, especially noticeable in the eyes, and as bilirubin levels increase, the yellow colour becomes evident on the rest of the body.
Infant jaundice is a yellow discoloration in a newborn baby's skin and eyes. Infant jaundice occurs because the baby's blood contains an excess of bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin), a yellow-colored pigment of red blood cells. Infant jaundice is a common condition, particularly in babies born before 38 weeks gestation (preterm babies) and some breast-fed babies. Infant jaundice usually occurs because a baby's liver isn't mature enough to get rid of bilirubin in the bloodstream. In some cases, an underlying disease may cause jaundice. Treatment of infant jaundice often isn't necessary, and most cases that need treatment respond well to noninvasive therapy.
