Total bilirubin for newborn

2021-08-24 09:04:01
Bilirubin test was done after 48 hrs of born. Direct bilirubin was 0.20mg/dl and indirect bilirubin was of 9.70 mg/dl... Which is sum up of total bilirubin of 9.9mg/dl. Is he having jaundice? Is bilirubin range fine or do we need to consult pediatrician on this?

Depends on age, whether full term or preterm and other risk factors. Better, consult a pediatrician.
