Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask, what is the normal value of bilirubin for newborns?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the data measured percutaneously should be less than 10 (the values may vary slightly depending on the instrument); if blood is drawn to measure the level of bilirubin in the blood, the normal value is usually less than 205 umol/l (12 mg/dl). For a normal infant at 30 days, the total bilirubin normal range is 1.7 to 17.1 umol/l (0.1 to 1.0 mg/dl). Direct bilirubin is 0 to 6.8 umol/l (0 to 0.4 mg/dl). Indirect bilirubin is 1.7 to 10.2 umol/l (0.1 to 0.6 mg/dl).
