Case study of Successful Treatment of Crigler Najjar syndrome by Homeopathy

How HomoeoCARE Treated a Newborn Infant with Crigler-Najjar Syndrome

A male child, aged 1 month and 22 days, was born with complaints of hyperbilirubinemia. He was diagnosed with Crigler Najjar Syndrome. The child's serum bilirubin level was 17.8, which was high during birth, initially thought to be physiological jaundice. Hence, the baby was shifted to the NICU, and phototherapy was given for nine days. Despite this, his bilirubin levels fluctuated but never normalized completely. After discharge from the hospital, his bilirubin levels increased again. Further investigations and case studies led doctors to conclude and diagnose Crigler Najjar Syndrome.
 

Crigler-Najjar Syndrome: An Overview

Crigler-Najjar Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of bilirubin in the liver. Hemoglobin breaks down into heme and globin, which later decomposes into iron and biliverdin. The biliverdin then converts into bilirubin, which should be conjugated with glucuronic acid in the liver and excreted into bile and urine. When there is impaired liver uptake, impaired conjugation, or increased production of unconjugated bilirubin, it crosses the blood-brain barrier and causes damage to brain and nerve tissues.

Treating Crigler-Najjar Syndrome with HomoeoCARE

At birth, his weight was 3.65 kg, and he cried immediately after birth with a normal tone. He began feeding normally and developed a suckling reflex. His mother experienced morning sickness until her fifth month of pregnancy, and during the second trimester, it was discovered that her blood sugar was high, which later normalized without medication. She underwent a planned C-section due to a previous C-section delivery with her first child. Phototherapy was given due to persistent jaundice since March, with bilirubin levels reaching 15.2 initially and increasing to 24.67 within 21 days despite conventional treatment. Even after allopathic treatment, the bilirubin levels increased further to 26.36.

After observing a continuous rise in bilirubin levels despite conventional treatment, the parents opted to explore alternative options and began homeopathic treatment at HomoeoCARE. Within two weeks of initiating this new treatment, the child's bilirubin decreased from 26 to 17, further reducing to 7.01 and then to 4.8. By June, it reduced to 0.4 over six months. The child's condition steadily improved, with bilirubin levels returning to a normal range of 0.4 mg. This case serves as evidence of the efficiency of homeopathic treatment even in genetic conditions like Crigler Najjar Syndrome. As the child's health improved, so did his developmental milestones. He gradually achieved all milestones typical for his age and is now able to ride a bicycle and engage in all activities typical of a child his age, showing no signs of deficiency.
