Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I just want you to check the report of my son, who is 3 days old. Kindly check the report and tell me about his health. Is everything fine in the report?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concerns. I have seen the report that you have sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
1. Today is day 4 of your child and bilirubin total is 8.7 mg/dL and indirect bilirubin is 8.2 mg/dl. This is slightly higher in this age and the child will require phototherapy.
2. Repeat bilirubin levels should be done daily and when it decreases phototherapy should be stopped. At 7 days, bilirubin levels should be below 10 mg/dL.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Is there anything serious? Today, the blood was taken again to test, but we did not receive the report yet.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
This is a very common problem in newborn. By seeing the report, I do not think that it is a serious problem.
