Crigler-Najjar syndrome is a congenital autosomal recessive inherited disorder that leads to nonhemolytic jaundice. This syndrome is caused by an absence (CN1) or profoundly decreased level (CN2) of the enzyme UDP-glucuronosyltransferase due to a genetic defect in the UGT1A1 gene. This condition results in hyperbilirubinemia that may present soon after birth. Severe forms of this disease can cause hyperbilirubinemia, which can potentially cause irreversible brain damage. Hence, prompt diagnosis and treatment are of utmost importance. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of Crigler-Najjar syndrome. This activity also highlights the interprofessional team’s role in caring for newborns with this condition.
