If the conjugated bilirubin is greater than 10% of the total bilirubin level. In a term baby, the following applies: When SBR >200 micromol/L on the second day of life. When SBR >250 micromol/L and when jaundice is of late onset (7-10 days of life or later) or is prolonged. When SBR >200 micromol/L after 7-10 days of life. Screening:
Bilirubin Blood Test: Procedure, Preparation, and Risks
The increase in the total bilirubin associated with obstructive jaundice is primarily due to the direct fraction. Both direct and indirect bilirubin are increased in the serum with hepatitis. In the newborn patient with hemolytic jaundice and neonatal jaundice, the increase in the total bilirubin is primarily due to the indirect bilirubin fraction.

Bilirubin levels may reach 6 to 10 mg/dl and resolution generally occurs during the seventh or eighth day. A bilirubin level exceeding 12 mg/dl for the full term infant is suggestive of more than normal physiology and would be considered hyperbilirobinemia (Behrman). 4

The bilirubin in the sample is exposed to a binding agent at pH 8.0 and the light reflected from the slide is measured at 2 wavelengths to allow for the 2 different maxima of the unconjugated (420-425nm) and conjugated (460-465nm) species. This method uses unconjugated and conjugated bilirubin and therefore total bilirubin, but not (-bilirubin.
