<![CDATA[Jaundice is the result of increased levels of indirect ("unconjugated") bilirubin or direct ("conjugated") bilirubin levels in the blood. Indirect bilirubin does not function because while still in the womb, the fetus needs a lot of red blood cells, because the baby's lungs have not functioned perfectly, so the baby has not been able to process indirect bilirubin into direct bilirubin in the liver so that it can be excreted through feces and urine. Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera caused by increased bilirubin production in the blood. The purpose of this study was to determine the picture of the results of indirect bilirubin examination in infants aged 0-14 days at Gading Medika Hospital in Bengkulu City.
