Patient's question:
What is the normal standard index for neonatal jaundice? The child has had this condition for a long time, and I am very worried, afraid it will become serious. Please give me some advice.Doctor's answer:
Bilirubin below 10 is safe, vaccination below 5, and normal levels are around 1. The jaundice index (serum bilirubin level) of children generally does not exceed 15 mg/dL to be within the normal range. Medical staff will use the jaundice index to refer to the concentration of bilirubin when explaining the condition. For example, a jaundice index of 12 indicates a bilirubin concentration of 12 mg/dL. Jaundice is generally divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. If it exceeds the range of physiological jaundice, it is called pathological jaundice.
