Question
Is a jaundice index of 274 in newborns high and serious?
Answer
If a baby has a jaundice index exceeding 274, attention should be paid to the baby’s age at birth. Generally speaking, this may indicate pathological jaundice. Based on the given situation, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for blue light therapy. If the baby has been born for only a few days, the jaundice index may continue to rise, and an index over 370 can be dangerous for the baby.
