Although black race is considered protective against hyperbilirubinemia, black infants appear at increased risk of kernicterus. We found that although black infants have a lower risk of developing total serum bilirubin levels >= 20 mg/dL than white infants, they appear at greater risk of developing levels >= 30 mg/dL.
