3
Questions 1.What are this infants risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia? 2.What risk curve for phototherapy initiation would you put this infant on? 3.What labwork would you want to obtain at this point?
4
Labwork Total bilirubin 5.77 (direct 0.36) at 5.5 hrs of life CBC: 28.6 100 Retic: 11.6%
5
1.What is your interpretation of the lab results? 2. What are your next steps in management of this newborn?

8
Lab results Baby is almost 12 hrs old (6hrs since initiating phototherapy) Serum bili is 6.58 CBC: 18.5 192 Retic: 14%

At 48hrs of life serum bili is 7.03 Repeat CBC: 13.6 <12.7/38.8<221 Retic: 15%
12
