Question
Why do newborns need bilirubin tests? Generally speaking, how often should they be checked? What items do you need to bring for the test?
Answer
Newborns have a poor ability to process bilirubin, and bilirubin can have a significant impact on a child’s brain development, so it is necessary to conduct regular checks. Typically, bilirubin tests are needed within the first month of birth. When checking, no special items are required.
