Question
How to convert the newborn jaundice value of 368?
Answer
The jaundice value measured through the skin may not be accurate, and it is recommended to perform a blood test to determine the actual serum bilirubin level. If the skin measurement result is 368, it is generally converted to micrograms per deciliter (mg/dL), but it needs to be divided by 17.1 for estimation. Since this value is high, further treatment may be required, and it is advisable to consult a doctor and explain the baby’s condition.
