Question
What is the normal range for neonatal jaundice? Are there differences in the standard for full-term and premature infants?
Answer
The normal range for neonatal jaundice varies between full-term and premature infants. Generally, the normal jaundice level for full-term infants is 12.9 mg/100ml, meaning the bilirubin content in every 100ml of blood should be less than 12.9 mg. For premature infants, the normal jaundice level is 15mg/100ml, indicating that the bilirubin level in 100ml of blood should be below 15 mg. If your child has undergone relevant tests, refer to the above standards to understand their jaundice condition.
