The kernicterus market has been comprehensively analyzed in this report titled "Kernicterus Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Kernicterus refers to a rare but serious neurological disorder that primarily affects newborns. It is caused by the accumulation of excessive bilirubin in the brain, a yellow pigment produced when red blood cells are broken down. Bilirubin buildup occurs due to the inability of the infant's immature liver to efficiently process and excrete it, leading to its toxic effects on the central nervous system. The symptoms of kernicterus can manifest as lethargy, poor feeding, high-pitched crying, arching of the back, and muscle stiffness. As the condition progresses, more severe indications like deafness, vision problems, intellectual disabilities, and even involuntary muscle movements can emerge. The diagnosis of the ailment includes a combination of clinical evaluation, assessing the infant's neurological symptoms, and measuring serum bilirubin levels. High concentrations of bilirubin in the blood, along with visible signs of neural dysfunction, often prompt further diagnostic tests, such as brain imaging, to determine the extent of brain damage.
The escalating incidence of elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin in the blood, leading to its deposition in brain tissues and subsequent neurological impairments, is primarily driving the kernicterus market. In addition to this, the rising prevalence of various associated risk factors in newborns, such as premature birth, blood group incompatibility, inadequate feeding, infections, etc., is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of phototherapy, which utilizes light waves to convert bilirubin into water-soluble forms that can be more easily excreted by the liver, thereby alleviating disease symptoms, is further bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the inflating usage of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy to counteract antibodies responsible for the accelerated breakdown of red blood cells is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the escalating application of early screening and educational campaigns targeted at parents and healthcare professionals, which emphasize the significance of prompt detection and intervention of the illness, is also propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the emerging popularity of effective medical procedures, such as exchange transfusions, that help to replace the affected infant's damaged blood with fresh blood, is expected to drive the kernicterus market during the forecast period.
