Patient's question:
I have blood type O, and my husband has blood type B. The blood test was taken from my daughter on the morning of her third day of birth. The results were: RH positive, daughter's blood type B, RH positive, G-6-PD normal.Doctor's answer:
Analysis: The normal value of total bilirubin is 1.71-17.1 μg/L (1-10 mg/L), and the normal value of direct bilirubin is 1.71-7 μmol/L (1-4 mg/L). The normal value of indirect bilirubin is 1.7-13.7 μmol/L.Recommendation: Bilirubin is a metabolite of heme in hemoglobin and other heme proteins in macrophages or other reticuloendothelial cells and liver cells. Bilirubin is brownish-yellow and is mainly excreted into the blood of mammals with bile. Elevated bilirubin levels in the blood can lead to jaundice. It is important to prevent pathological jaundice in newborns, such as preventing toxoplasmosis and rubella virus infections during pregnancy, especially in early pregnancy.
