Answer 3
The baby could have hepatic or
Post-Hepatic
(Obstructive) Jaundice. Physiologic jaundice of a newborn, often
hepatic jaundice, is likely to have cleared up on its own by
day 5; at this point the biliary system should be developed. The baby
in this case most likely has post-hepatic jaundice, based on the
elevated bilirubin and the calculi in the bile duct.
