The neonatal jaundice index is a measure used by doctors to assess the condition of neonatal jaundice. The normal value for full-term infants is below 12.9mg/100ml, while for premature infants, it is below 15mg/100ml. If the index exceeds the normal range or rises rapidly, it may indicate pathological jaundice.
A bilirubin level of 230 for a 10-day-old baby is within the normal range, but it’s important to note that persistent or increasing jaundice may require further examination and treatment.
