Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice is only 1.1, sometimes it can't be detected whether it's normal? If there is jaundice, then how is the treatment better?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice refers to the condition during the neonatal period where abnormal bilirubin metabolism leads to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood, resulting in the yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera. It is the most common clinical issue in newborns. The condition is classified as either physiological or pathological. According to the current monitoring, the jaundice index has not been monitored yet. It is best to check liver function to confirm the diagnosis. The accuracy of transcutaneous measurement is not high, and if this is the case, a blood test should be conducted, which has a higher accuracy.
