Richard,
I am new to SI and I have now provided more biographical information from which you can draw your own conclusions. I also read yours with interest. I hope your stock guesses are better than your personal guesses because...1. .Yes, I am a parent to two children. The oldest one had an elevated bilirubin level at birth 10 years ago. 2. I have talked to neonatal nurses...most recently 15 minutes ago to one who assured me that what I am telling you about this test is indeed accurate. Incidently, the neonatal unit already have a device called a Bilimeter that is the size of a remote control and performs a simple Bilirubin test but blood must still be drawn to determine indirect vs direct bilirubin levels. This is done to distinguish Physiologic jaundice.such as that caused by liver dysfunction from normal newborn jaundice..which comes from the breakdown of excess red blood cells that had been circulating during the fetal period and are no longer needed by a healthy newborn capable of making its own RBC's. I hope this has been helpful!
