The normal value of neonatal jaundice index is usually not more than 221µmol/L (12.9mg/dL), 180µmol/L is still within the normal range, so it is usually normal.
Generally, most newborns will have jaundice, but the jaundice index of a normal newborn is no more than 221µmol/L (12.9mg/dL), 180µmol/L is still within the normal range, so it is usually normal.
However, the normal range is a dynamic process of change, generally in the first 3 to 4 days of life bilirubin rise, 5 to 6 days to reach the peak, about 13 days will subside.
Therefore, if the jaundice value of a newborn baby is 180µmol/L in the first 1 to 2 days of life, it is abnormal and belongs to pathological jaundice, which requires further examination and diagnosis.
If the jaundice index of a newborn is 180µmol/L, it is recommended to consult a doctor promptly for relevant examinations and intervention by the doctor.
