ABSTRACT
In this study, a simple method was evaluated for serum bilirubin estimation in neonates. The color of plasma was compared with various dilutions of potassium dichromate. Readings were then compared with serum bilirubin levels obtained by diazo reaction. The coefficient of correlation (r = 0.7947) between the two was statistically significant. It is concluded that the color index provides reliable estimates of serum bilirubin levels.
