The serum total bilirubin value of 117 μmol/L is within the normal range and is not serious in newborns.
Serum total bilirubin is less than 220.5 μmol/L in term infants and less than 256.5 μmol/L in preterm infants. a serum total bilirubin value of 117 μmol/L is within the normal range and is not serious.
Jaundice is the most common clinical problem in the neonatal period. More than 80% of normal newborns may develop yellow skin staining in the early postnatal period. Neonatal jaundice is generally categorized into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice.
Physiologic jaundice is manifested as jaundice in full-term infants on the 2nd to 3rd day after birth, peaks on the 4th to 6th day, and subsides 2 weeks after birth, and in preterm infants, the longest period of time can be prolonged to subside 3 to 4 weeks after birth. During this period, the general condition of the child is good, without other clinical symptoms, and the jaundice is mild.
Pathological jaundice is characterized by the appearance of jaundice within 24 hours after birth, and the rise of bilirubin is more than 85μmol/L per day or more than 0.5mg/dL per hour.If pathological jaundice occurs in the newborn, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
