Elevated albumin-free or unbound bilirubin (UB) levels beyond the first week of life have been associated with the development of bilirubin encephalopathy in preterm infants. However, the mechanism(s) that induces this prolonged unbound bilirubinemia has remained unknown. We hypothesized that it may due to a sustained lower bilirubin-binding affinity of albumin in extremely premature infants.
