Patient's question:
The child in our family recently had a check-up for jaundice, and the results showed that his jaundice level was a bit high. We are concerned about this. What should we do? Is newborn jaundice at 30 serious?Doctor's answer:
The normal value of jaundice in full-term newborns is different from that of premature infants. The normal jaundice level for full-term newborns is 12.9 mg/100 mL, meaning the bilirubin level in 100 mL of blood is higher than 12.9 mg. The normal jaundice level for premature infants is 15 mg/100 mL of blood, meaning the bilirubin level in 100 mL of blood is higher than 15 mg. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
