Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:"Back in my hometown, when my baby was born, their level was 9. I noticed that my sister's baby had no issues at all when they were born. During my pregnancy, I also followed the diet plan my sister gave me. I would like to ask, what are the causes of jaundice in babies?"
(Note: The original text contains a typo in the word "," which should be "jaundice." I have corrected it in the translation.)
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent. Generally speaking, 60% of full-term infants and 80% of premature infants can develop visible jaundice within the first week after birth. The baby's jaundice is related to the characteristics of their bilirubin metabolism. This includes relatively high bilirubin production; insufficient ability of hepatocytes to take up bilirubin; poor ability of plasma albumin to bind bilirubin; defects in bilirubin excretion; and increased enterohepatic circulation.
