Is jaundice 230 high?


Healing with compassion, caring with purpose.
The jaundice index refers to serum bilirubin, serum bilirubin 230umol/L is not high depends on the specific circumstances.
Bilirubin is a substance decomposed by red blood cells, its excretion is mainly completed through the liver and intestinal tract. If there is a problem in the metabolism of bilirubin in the body, it will lead to an increase in bilirubin content in the blood, thus causing jaundice. For premature infants, serum bilirubin 230umol/L belongs to the normal range and is not high. However, for full-term infants, children and other groups, serum bilirubin 230 umol/L has exceeded the normal range and should be paid attention to in time.
Excessive serum bilirubin needs to consider the possibility of hepatitis, biliary obstruction and other diseases. Blood tests, imaging examinations and other medical examinations should be carried out in time to make a clear diagnosis.
