Hi doctor,
I have attached the laboratory reports of my wife. And the baby's stools are green in color. Please explain whether there is any chance for the baby to get jaundice.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
1. Mother's thyroid levels are normal and the progesterone levels have no significance with the jaundice in newborn.
2. Pregnanediol levels are seen in breast milk.
3. Greenish stool is a normal thing in babies and it is not related to jaundice.
4. Greenish stool occurs due to less transit time of milk in the intestine due to which the bile is not removed properly.
