Patient's question:
I'll translate the content into English, keeping the Enter key () unchanged as instructed:"I'm going to visit my brother's children. I noticed that the baby's skin is particularly yellow. I told my sister-in-law to test the baby's jaundice. However, she's not very familiar with the data, so she wants to know how much jaundice is normal for newborns?"
Doctor's answer:
The normal value of jaundice in full-term newborns is different from that in premature infants. Typically, the normal value of jaundice in full-term newborns is 12.9 milligrams/100 milliliters, meaning the bilirubin level in 100 milliliters of blood is below 12.9 milligrams. Premature infants have a normal jaundice value of 15 milligrams/100 milliliters of blood, meaning the bilirubin level in 100 milliliters of blood is below 15 milligrams.
