Neonatal bilirubin value of 380 μmol/L is abnormal and more serious.
The upper limits of bilirubin values in newborns are 205 μmol/L (full-term babies) and 256.5 μmol/L (preterm babies), so a bilirubin value of 380 μmol/L in a newborn is considered abnormal, or pathological jaundice.
Pathological jaundice carries the risk of developing bilirubin encephalopathy and is therefore serious and should not be ignored. Bilirubin encephalopathy can potentially lead to cognitive, learning, and motor deficits in babies, with serious consequences.
When your baby’s bilirubin value is elevated, you should go to a regular hospital for consultation to clarify the cause of the disease, and under the guidance of your doctor, you should undergo phototherapy, blood exchange therapy, application of gammaglobulin and other medications, so as to achieve early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment, so as to avoid adverse consequences.
