What is the normal level of jaundice in newborns?

Patient's question:

The normal value of jaundice in full-term newborns is 12.9 mg/dL (milligrams/100 milliliters), which means the bilirubin level in 100 milliliters of blood is below 12 milligrams for normal; 2. The normal value of jaundice in premature infants is bilirubin below 15 mg/dL (milligrams/100 milliliters).

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Dr. Signatory, I am very happy to answer your question. Neonatal jaundice is a common clinical problem, divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. The normal jaundice value for full-term infants is 12.9 mg, and the normal jaundice value for premature infants is 15 mg. For physiological jaundice, no treatment is needed, and it will recover on its own. However, pathological jaundice requires timely treatment, otherwise it may lead to serious complications. The above is my suggestion on the value of "helping to check neonatal jaundice," hoping it helps you. Wishing you health!
