Objective To evaluate the role of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in central nervous system (CNS) injury of obstructive jaundice. Method The related literatures about NMDA receptor and the CNS injury caused by hyperbilirubinemia were retrieved and reviewed. Results The CNS injury of obstructive jaundice was related to overactivation of NMDA receptor, which finally resulted in degeneration and necrosis of nerve cells. The NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 could relieve the CNS injury of obstructive jaundice. Conclusions NMDA receptor plays an important role in the CNS injury caused by hyperbilirubinemia, and the blocker of NMDA receptor has protective effects in this process. However, there is no report of MK-801 in clinical application when hyperbilirubinemia happened.
