AB  - An  infant's  indirect  (unconjugated)  serum  bilirubin  level  is  10  mg/dL.  The  exact  definition  of  a  physiologic  range  and  management  of  indirect  hyperbilirubinemia  is  complex  and  based  on  many  factors,  including  gestational  age  (GA),  postnatal  age,  birthweight,  disease  state,  risk  factors,  degree  of  hydration,  nutritional  status,  and  ethnicity.  Total  serum  bilirubin  (TSB)  is  the  sum  of  direct  (conjugated)  and  indirect  (unconjugated)  and  can  be  measured  in  the  blood.  The  indirect  bilirubin  is  calculated  by  subtracting  the  direct  bilirubin  from  the  total  bilirubin.  Transcutaneous  bilirubin  (TcB)  is  a  measurement  of  total  serum  bilirubin  from  an  instrument  that  uses  reflectance  measurements  on  the  skin  and  correlates  well  with  the  laboratory  TSB  value.
