Hyperbilirubinemia is typically diagnosed through a combination of physical examination and laboratory tests. The most common tests include:
Total serum bilirubin (TSB): Measures the total amount of bilirubin in the blood. Direct (conjugated) bilirubin: Helps differentiate between types of jaundice. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB): A non-invasive method to estimate bilirubin levels using a device placed on the skin.
