Are investigations for Neonatal Jaundice mandatory? - Dr. Kishore Kumar

Jaundice does not necessarily need investigation. We check jaundice for babies at 36-48 hours of age which gives a predictive value with which we can assess whether the baby needs treatment or not. If the Jaundice becomes pathological then all other causes such as urine infection, thyroid and other problems will have to be ruled out. For more information, visit cloudninecare.com
