Liver function indexes of neonatal jaundice

It mainly includes the detection of liver enzymes and bilirubin. Bilirubin detection is an important index for the diagnosis of neonatal jaundice. The concentration of bilirubin in serum can be determined by venous blood or microbiology. Transdermal bilirubin test is a non-invasive detection method, easy to operate, percutaneous bilirubin value and micro-bilirubin value correlation is good, but this method may be affected by the thickness of the skin and skin color of the measured site, may cause misleading jaundice, generally used for screening diagnosis, once bilirubin rises to a certain limit value, it is necessary to detect the bilirubin level in the blood. Other tests of liver function include tests of enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase, which is a sensitive indicator of liver cell damage, and alkaline phosphatase, which is elevated in cases of biliary obstruction or inflammation.
