Question
Newborns often develop jaundice shortly after birth, with yellowing of the skin and eyes. What is the normal range of jaundice values for newborns?
Answer
When a newborn shows signs of jaundice, it is important to seek medical attention immediately to avoid any impact on brain development. Generally, jaundice values should remain below 204μmol/L to be considered normal. However, for premature infants, a jaundice value that does not exceed 255μmol/L is considered normal. The specific situation should be determined based on the baby’s actual condition.
