Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.

In head lines in this query there is a blunder ( AUTOPSY) , who is responsible ?
Any way serum bilirubin level is two type
1 direct
2 indirect
First of all make sure which level is high ?
Usually bilirubin level is 1mg & high means jaundice .
Get in blood for serum amylase, S G O T, S G P T .
In ultrasound , if everything is normal then it is physiological jaundice and prognosis is very good.
Consult a physician and get his opinion.
Upload serum bilirubin's complete report.
Good luck.
