Patient's question:
My sister just gave birth today, and the baby has a relatively severe jaundice. What is the newborn jaundice value reference table?Doctor's answer:
In medicine, jaundice in newborns born before the full moon (within 28 days of birth) is called neonatal jaundice. The highest level of bilirubin in umbilical cord blood of normal newborns is about 51.3 μmol/L (3 mg/dL) at birth, decreasing to less than 171–205 μmol/L (10–12 mg/dL) within 4 days. For premature infants, it is less than 256.5 μmol/L (15 mg/dL). During treatment, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular routine, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health to keep personal hygiene. Avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
