The norm of bilirubin in newborns

Table of the norm of bilirubin in newborns

After birth, a baby's hemoglobinchanges from fetal to normal. Bilirubin is a product of this breakdown. The substance is excreted from the body by the liver, gall bladder and intestines. But the baby's organs sometimes cannot cope with such a load, and they may need additional help. That is why it is so important to monitor the levels of the substance in the blood.The bilirubin norm in newborns is different for each day. Photo: Getty Bilirubin norm by day in newborns:

First day: the value does not exceed 34 μmol / l.
The second day: bilirubin reaches from 24 to 149 μmol / l.
Third-fourth day: the norm ranges from 26 to 205.

On the fifth day, bilirubin begins to rise sharplydecrease and soon disappears completely. The extreme values on the first day are considered to be 51 μmol/l. On the third or fourth day after birth, bilirubin should not exceed 256 μmol/l. In premature babies, this value is even lower - 171 μmol/l.

Why bilirubin increases in newborns

If the indicators are slightly higher than normal, thenthe child develops physiological jaundice. This disease is not dangerous and goes away on its own after a few days. The only sign is slight yellowing of the skin of the upper body. Usually, such a baby does not lose activity and feels quite normal. Such jaundice does not need to be treated with medication, but the pediatrician needs to monitor the baby's condition. If bilirubin goes off the scale, pathological jaundice can develop. In this case, the substance acts as a toxin and can cause a number of serious complications, including the death of the baby. In addition to increased bilirubin, pathological jaundice can be recognized by the following signs:

yellowness of the entire surface of the body and even mucous membranes;
bright orange palms and feet;
clarification of feces;
darkening of urine.

For this type of disease, the baby is prescribeddetoxification therapy. In rare cases, a blood transfusion may be required. Bilirubin in the baby's body must be monitored with special attention. An excess of this substance can lead to serious complications. Therefore, it is important to know the daily bilirubin norm.
