Is a bilirubin level of 8.6 in a one-month-old baby considered high?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Not high, generally it can resolve on its own. If jaundice does not subside, it is necessary to combine liver function tests to rule out factors such as hepatitis B infection that may cause jaundice. If there are no infection-related factors, it can be treated with blue light therapy.
