Please check my son's bilirubin report and advise us.

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.

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.
