Question

What is the normal range of neonatal jaundice values?

Answer

Jaundice is generally categorized into physiological and pathological types. Any jaundice that exceeds the physiological range is classified as pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice typically appears two days after birth, reaches its peak on the fifth day, and most cases resolve between the seventh and tenth day, with the index generally not exceeding 15mg/dL.
