How is the 368 value of neonatal jaundice calculated?

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to ask the doctor how to convert the jaundice value of 368. Is this condition normal for my child?

Doctor's answer:

I don't know if it's the transcutaneous bilirubin value. You mean converting it to mg and dividing by 17.1. Generally speaking, transcutaneous bilirubin is not very accurate, and it's best to have a blood bilirubin test. Tell the baby the specific situation, this value is quite high and needs treatment.
