Patient's question:
My baby is one month old, and his complexion is yellow. His total bilirubin is 131.7, total protein is 52.5, indirect bilirubin is 120.8, prealbumin is 0.11, total bile acid is 13.8, and glutamyl transferase is 92.5. Direct bilirubin is 10.9. Currently, the child's appetite is also not good.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the child only has mild jaundice, but it should be pathological jaundice. For a full-term child, if there is still jaundice, it should be pathological. In normal full-term infants, jaundice should subside within 2 weeks after birth, and in premature infants, it should subside within 1 month after birth. If it does not subside, it is considered pathological. Based on your description of the child's jaundiced areas and bilirubin levels, your child currently has mild jaundice. As long as the child is feeding well and there are no abnormalities in urination and defecation, it is recommended to treat and observe at home first. First, provide an appropriate amount of sugar water to help eliminate jaundice, and also prevent the child from having low body temperature.
