Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me the normal range for a baby's jaundice level?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is generally divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. If it exceeds the range of physiological jaundice, it is called pathological jaundice.I. Physiological Jaundice
Typically, newborns can visibly notice a slight yellowish tint in their skin two days after birth, reaching its peak between 3 to 5 days, and usually disappearing within 7 to 10 days. At this stage, the jaundice index (serum bilirubin level) is generally within the normal range if it does not exceed 15 mg/dL.
