A total bilirubin of 35µmol/L with normal aminotransferases is not serious and is considered mild jaundice or normal.
A normal aminotransferase level with a total bilirubin of 35µmol/L is considered mild jaundice in adults and normal in newborns aged 0-1 day.
The reference values for total bilirubin are generally different for different age groups, ranging from 3.4-17.1µmol/L for adults and 34-103µmol/L for newborns aged 0-1 day.
In adults total bilirubin >17. 1µmol/L but <34. 2µmol/L is considered occult jaundice or subclinical jaundice; when it is in the range of 34.2-171µmol/L it is considered as mild jaundice, when it is in the range of 171-342µmol/L it is considered as moderate jaundice, and when it is >342µmol/L it is considered as high jaundice.
Therefore, if the total bilirubin is 35µmol/L, further examination is needed to find out the cause of jaundice as soon as possible, so that symptomatic treatment can reduce further damage to the body.
