For checking the value of jaundice, we can confirm the level of jaundice by naked eye observation, percutaneous bile measurement, or blood drawing. Jaundice is a common manifestation in newborns. The specific methods to confirm the level of jaundice are as follows:
First, you can observe with the naked eye, that is, to see whether the skin is yellow with the naked eye. This observation method is only a preliminary judgment method, which can not accurately judge the value of jaundice, but it can help to see whether it turns yellow or whether it has improved.
Second, we can use percutaneous choledochometry, which is a non-invasive measurement method. There is a special percutaneous choledochometer. Generally, press it on the skin, and the jaundice value will be displayed on the machine. As long as the instrument is calibrated, it can generally reflect the bilirubin level.
Third, the most accurate is to draw blood to check the level of bilirubin in the blood. If the level of bilirubin in the blood is very high, it can confirm the degree of jaundice and help judge whether further treatment is needed.
