Prolonged Jaundice
Hello Doctor, My daughter is 7 weeks old now. She was born with weight of 2.5 kg. Her current weight is 4.7 kg. She had Jaundice when she was born which was visible on skin and eyes. Total Bilrubin was 11.4 with 0.5 as Direct Bilrubin and 10.9 Indirect. Yellowness was reducing. Yesterday Doctor saw yellowish tinge on pressing the skin and blood test was performed. Her total Bilrubin was reduced to 3.3 but direct increased to 1.4 and indirect is 1.9. She looks well not yellow (unless we press the skin on stomach and legs, face and eyes are clear), no dark urine or pale stools. She is pooping once a week after 4 weeks. Her LFT was also slightly elevated with SGOT/SGPT/ALP was 62, 59 and 280 respectively. Doctor said elevation is fine but I am little worried about Direct Bilrubin as it has increased. Any suggestions please
