Neonatal jaundice, caused by increased bilirubin levels in the body, is a cause for concern for parents of newborns. In the vast majority of cases, physiological jaundice, which appears on the second or third day of life, resolves spontaneously and poses no threat to the child's normal development. Increased bilirubin levels are a sign of the young body adapting to life outside the mother's womb.

However, there are cases of neonatal jaundice that may have underlying medical conditions and lead to serious neurological disorders. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor bilirubin levels and respond quickly to elevated levels. Standard testing involves drawing and analyzing the newborn's blood. It is routinely performed on the second or third day after birth. Subsequent tests can be performed without puncturing the newborn's skin. This is done using a bilirubinometer, a transcutaneous bilirubin meter. This device allows for accurate assessment of bilirubin levels and, if necessary, rapid implementation of phototherapy.
