Diagnosis & Tests
How is the condition diagnosed?
These hormonal effects are often observed during the newborn physical exam or in one of the baby's first of several doctor's visits. Diagnosis is made by looking at the infant. No laboratory tests are indicated. Sometimes a healthcare provider may recommend a blood test to evaluate the bilirubin level if a baby has significant jaundice.
