Out of 93 newborns who had cord albumin levels ≥3.75 g/dl, 18 (19.4%) developed hyperbilirubinemia after 72 hours of life, whereas of the 30 newborns who had cord albumin levels <3.75 g/dl, 15 (50%) developed hyperbilirubinemia after 72 hours of life (Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and Hyperbilirubinemia.
