Question
Is the newborn jaundice test accurate?
Answer
Newborn jaundice is a common phenomenon during the neonatal period, which can be classified into pathological and physiological types. Physiological jaundice does not require treatment, while pathological jaundice requires active treatment. During testing, the newborn jaundice test is generally used, which is usually quite accurate. Laboratory testing methods can also be used to assist in the examination, such as urine tests, blood tests, and liver function tests.
