Question
Can a child with elevated direct bilirubin levels attend school? This situation has been ongoing for a while, and as parents, we are very concerned. We hope the doctor can provide some advice.
Answer
The normal range for direct bilirubin levels is 0-3.42. Since your daughter’s levels are elevated, a recheck is necessary. As for the timing of the check, it doesn’t necessarily have to wait a month; just a longer interval would suffice, as there may be changes. If the interval is too short, the results may not show significant changes. It’s okay to schedule the check a week earlier. It is recommended to perform the check and treatment after the completion of treatment.
