Patient's question:
Little baby has been born for more than a year, but I noticed that the skin is a bit yellow. The doctor said it's jaundice. So, what is the normal value of jaundice in general? I'm not very sure myself, please let a professional doctor answer. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
This child is over a year old. Currently, the yellowing of the skin is caused by jaundice. If it is due to illness and reasonable jaundice, liver function tests will determine how high the bilirubin is. If it exceeds total bilirubin by 34, it is caused by jaundice. First, tests such as liver and gallbladder ultrasound and blood routine should be conducted to determine how high the bilirubin is. If it is caused by liver and gallbladder diseases, it is necessary to treat jaundice as soon as possible.
