Patient's question:
There is a brother who is 26 years old this year. His child was just born recently. The child needs to undergo a newborn jaundice test, and he is a bit curious about this test. He wants to know how it is specifically performed. So, he asks the doctor: How is the newborn jaundice test performed?Doctor's answer:
The detection of neonatal jaundice usually involves a professional jaundice detection device. By measuring the bilirubin level in the child's forehead skin, it can determine the bilirubin content in the child's blood. Generally, a result below 15 is within the normal physiological range and does not need to be worried about. If the bilirubin level is too high, it is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. There is no need to be afraid if there is no jaundice. If it is pathological jaundice, active treatment is required.
