Hyperbilirubinemia is a medical disorder characterized by elevated blood levels of bilirubin, which can cause jaundice, or a yellowing of the skin, sclera, and nails. A condition known as hyperbilirubinemia frequently affects babies. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia patients are managed with exchange transfusion and phototherapy. This study aimed to determine the neonatal hyperbilirubinemia therapies at the one private hospital in Azerbaijan. In 2023, data on the condition of hyperbilirubinemia and the kind of therapies received were gathered from medical records. Samples for this study were chosen based on inclusion criteria. Phototherapy was used to treat all 41 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia; 29.26 % of the patients received treatment for less than 24 hours, and 70.73 % received treatment for longer than 24 hours. 100% of patients recovered after treatment. After treatment, 100% patients cured. Hyperbilirubinemia neonates in this hospital were treated with phototherapy and the treatment was successful.
