Hello Doctor, My daughter was born 6 weeks back with weight 2.5 kg. She had visible jaundice at birth with eyes and skin yellowish and the Bulrubin levels was 11.5 mg/dl with 0.5 mg/dl direct and rest indirect (2nd Day test). Her jaundice was getting better and she no longer looks yellowish. On one month visit Doctor said that jaundice is cleared after physical exam. But last week when we visited the Doctor, she saw yellowish tinge on pressing the skin (eyes were white) and then blood tests were performed. Total Bilrubin is 3.3 mg% with direct Bilrubin as 1.4 mg% and indirect as 1.9 mg%. Her
liver enzymes were also elevated slightly. SGOT: 58, SGPT: 62 and ALP: 282. Doctor said that elevation is not that high but I have read that more than 20% of direct Bilrubin out of total can indicate Biliary Atresia. I am really worried. Not sure if that is a concern. She is a happy child who smiles, feeds well, no pale stools or dark urine yet. Eyes are also white just yellow tinge on skin
