Patient's question:
My daughter was born with high jaundice, and I was wondering what the normal value of jaundice in newborns is?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the normal value of jaundice in full-term newborns is 12.9 milligrams per liter (mg/100 ml), which means the bilirubin level in 100 ml of blood is lower than the normal level of 12 mg. The normal jaundice value for premature infants is less than 15 milligrams per liter (100 ml) of bilirubin. However, if the child is premature or has other diseases, such as infection or hemolysis, the normal value of jaundice may be different.
