Patient's question:
From the moment the baby was born, her skin looked yellow. The doctor said it was due to physiological jaundice. But the baby has never urinated. If a newborn has jaundice, how long will it take for them to urinate?Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to your introduction, the baby has jaundice and is not urinating. If a newborn baby does not urinate within 24 hours, we should pay attention and identify the cause. If jaundice appears within 24 hours after birth, it indicates that jaundice occurred early and we should actively seek the cause of jaundice. Timely elimination of jaundice caused by blood type incompatibility and hemolytic disease is recommended. It is advised to take the baby to the neonatal department of a local regular children's hospital as soon as possible for corresponding examinations. Then, symptoms should be treated.
