Jaundice value comparison table 1 to 30 days

Neonatal jaundice is usually divided into physiological and pathological. Physiological jaundice is more common and usually does not require treatment. Breast milk jaundice also does not require special treatment. Pathological jaundice requires timely treatment to avoid serious consequences. According to the jaundice value comparison table, parents can preliminarily judge the severity of jaundice, but it is specifically recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate treatment measures according to the doctor's advice according to different situations. The details are as follows:

1. Physiological jaundice: Physiological jaundice is the most common type of neonatal jaundice, which usually appears 2-3 days after birth, reaches its peak on the 4-5th day, and disappears on its own within 1-2 weeks. The main reason is that the liver function of the newborn is not yet mature, resulting in incomplete bilirubin metabolism.

2. Breast milk jaundice: Breast milk jaundice may occur in newborns who are breastfed. It usually appears 4-7 days after birth and lasts for several weeks. The reason may be related to certain components in breast milk affecting the metabolic function of the baby's liver. Symptoms include mild yellowing of the skin and sclera, and usually no special treatment is required.

3. Pathological jaundice: Pathological jaundice usually occurs within 24 hours after birth. The bilirubin level rises rapidly, exceeding the range of physiological jaundice, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as anemia and hepatosplenomegaly. Common causes include hemolytic diseases, infections, and hepatobiliary diseases. Treatments include phototherapy, exchange transfusion therapy, etc. Patients must follow the doctor's instructions to use medications.

4. Bilirubin encephalopathy: Severe jaundice may develop into bilirubin encephalopathy, a life-threatening pathological condition. Symptoms include drowsiness, abnormal muscle tone, and decreased reflexes. Timely treatment is the key, and phototherapy and exchange transfusion therapy are the main treatments.
