Patient's question:
My blood type is O. My husband's blood type is B. The blood test was taken from my daughter on the morning of her third day of birth. The results were: RH positive. Daughter's blood type B, RH positive, G-6-PD normal.Doctor's answer:
Analysis: The normal value of total bilirubin is 1.71-17.1 μmol/L (1-10 mg/L). The normal value of direct bilirubin is 1.71-7 μmol/L (1-4 mg/L). The normal value of indirect bilirubin is 1.7-13.7 μmol/L.Recommendation: Bilirubin is a metabolite of heme in hemoglobin and other heme proteins in macrophages or other reticuloendothelial cells and liver cells. It appears brownish-yellow. It is primarily excreted into the bloodstream of mammals through bile. Elevated bilirubin levels can lead to jaundice. It is important to prevent pathological jaundice in newborns. Prevention of toxoplasmosis and rubella virus infection during pregnancy, especially in early pregnancy, should be emphasized.
