Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 I can't figure out the M but the BR just has to be bilirubin, don't you think? I'm still looking... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Webmedx employee Career Step graduate, 10/02/01 Experience: 9 months My Home Page: http://www.renesue.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ newborn Newborn infant with jaundice and doc dictates s/l *MBR* came back at 9.0.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 I can document BR as being bilirubin, but I don't know about MBR. I did find one site that had MBR, but it didn't say what it stands for. http://www.utoronto.ca/kids/mijaund.htm What screening investigations should be done in a jaundiced infant? Initially a total bilirubin will suffice. If there is a suspicion of hemolytic disease or anemia (e.g. clinical jaundice at < 24 hours or a MBR > 230 mmol/L in the first 48 hours), then a blood type and Coombs test should be done. In addition a CBC, smear and reticulocyte count should be ordered. If the neonate is a male Asian or Mediterranean infant with late onset jaundice and a MBR> 260 mmol/L, a G6PD screen should be done. ----Original Message Follows---- To: " nmtc " <nmtc > Subject: newborn Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 13:52:43 -0700 Newborn infant with jaundice and doc dictates s/l *MBR* came back at 9.0.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Likewise I can find references to " mean bilirubin level " but not in conjunction with MBR.
