Question
What should I do if my baby is one month old and has jaundice? The baby is over three weeks old, and in addition to the jaundice, what else can be done? Gamma-glutamyl transferase 84, total bilirubin 201, direct bilirubin 12.0, indirect bilirubin 189, total bile acid 56.11, and prealbumin 103.
Answer
The baby is a month old and has high jaundice levels. Based on the decline in indirect bilirubin, there is a high possibility of hemolytic jaundice. It is recommended to have routine blood tests and examine reticulocytes, red cell fragility, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and consider hospitalization for treatment.
