  2. Rotor syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_syndrome

    Rotor type hyperbilirubinemia is a distinct yet similar disorder to Dubin–Johnson syndrome [1] – both diseases cause an increase in conjugated bilirubin, but Rotor syndrome differs in that it is a result of impaired hepatocellular storage of conjugated bilirubin that leaks into plasma causing hyperbilirubinemia.

  3. Dubin–Johnson syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubin–Johnson_syndrome

    The conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is a result of defective endogenous and exogenous transfer of anionic conjugates from hepatocytes into bile. [5] Impaired biliary excretion of bilirubin glucuronides is due to a mutation in the canalicular multiple drug-resistance protein 2 (MRP2). A darkly pigmented liver is due to polymerized epinephrine ...

  4. Neonatal jaundice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_jaundice

    Neonatal jaundice is a yellowish discoloration of the white part of the eyes and skin in a newborn baby due to high bilirubin levels. [1] Other symptoms may include excess sleepiness or poor feeding. [1]

    Pica in dogs may be a sign of immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, especially when it involves eating substances such as tile grout, concrete dust, and sand. Dogs exhibiting this form of pica should be tested for anemia with a complete blood count including hematocrit levels, or packed cell volume. [46] [47]

  6. Van den Bergh reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_den_Bergh_reaction

    Van den Bergh reaction is a chemical reaction used to measure bilirubin levels in blood. [1] [2] More specifically, it determines the amount of conjugated bilirubin in the blood.

  7. Hemolytic jaundice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_jaundice

    Hyperbilirubinemia may be observed when hemolysis produces too much bilirubin through the excessive breakdown of red blood cells, and the bilirubin builds up in the patient's blood and tissue fluids without proper excretion. [43] Untreated or inadequately treated hyperbilirubinemia will lead to other complications such as kernicterus. [12]

  8. Reynolds' pentad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds'_pentad

    Reynolds' pentad is a collection of signs and symptoms consistent with obstructive ascending cholangitis, a serious infection of the biliary tract.It is a combination of Charcot's triad (right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, and fever) with shock (low blood pressure, tachycardia) and an altered mental status. [1]

  9. Crigler–Najjar syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crigler–Najjar_syndrome

    Crigler–Najjar syndrome is a rare inherited disorder affecting the metabolism of bilirubin, a chemical formed from the breakdown of the heme in red blood cells. The disorder results in a form of nonhemolytic jaundice, which results in high levels of unconjugated bilirubin and often leads to brain damage in infants.
