Patient's question:
Baby, look, it hasn't been a few days since you were born. Recently, I've noticed that the baby's entire body, as well as the face, has shown symptoms of yellowing. I'm worried that the child might have jaundice, so I went for a check-up, but I don't know what the index is considered normal. What is the normal jaundice index for newborns?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Neonatal bilirubin levels vary with age. Within 24 hours after birth, full-term infants with transcutaneous bilirubin less than 6; within 48 hours after birth, full-term infants with transcutaneous bilirubin less than 9; and after 72 hours or more after birth, full-term infants with transcutaneous bilirubin less than 12.95-7 days after fading, fade after two weeks. It is recommended to get more sun exposure and review regularly. I hope my answer helps you.
