Pathological jaundice may be considered in the following cases:1) Jaundice appears within 24 hours after birth;
2) The duration of jaundice exceeds 2 weeks in full-term infants or 3 weeks in preterm infants, or the jaundice worsens progressively;
3) The jaundice is deep, with the skin of the soles and palms also appearing yellow;
4) The skin appears yellow-green, accompanied by pale or grayish-white stools resembling oil paint, with dark yellow urine;
5) Jaundice reappears after the physiological jaundice has resolved.
