  2. Bilirubin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilirubin

    Total bilirubin assays work by using surfactants and accelerators (like caffeine) to bring all of the different bilirubin forms into solution where they can react with assay reagents. Total and direct bilirubin levels can be measured from the blood, but indirect bilirubin is calculated from the total and direct bilirubin. [citation needed]

  3. Gilbert's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert's_syndrome

    The level of total bilirubin is often further increased if the blood sample is taken after fasting for two days, [40] and a fast can, therefore, be useful diagnostically. A further conceptual step that is rarely necessary or appropriate is to give a low dose of phenobarbital: [41] the bilirubin will decrease substantially.

  4. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

    In acute appendicitis, total bilirubin can rise from 20.52 μmol/L to 143 μmol/L. In pregnant women, the total bilirubin level is low in all three trimesters. [6] The measurement of bilirubin levels in the newborns is done through the use of bilimeter or transcutanoeus bilirubinometer instead of performing LFTs.

  5. Hemolytic jaundice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_jaundice

    In both settings of hemolysis mentioned above, only low levels of conjugated bilirubin may accumulate in the serum, with the amount falling within the normal limits of 4 percent of total bilirubin as conjugated bilirubin can be efficiently excreted in bile through being secreted across canalicular membrane. [25]

  6. Urobilinogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urobilinogen

    In biliary obstruction, below-normal amounts of conjugated bilirubin reach the intestine for conversion to urobilinogen. With limited urobilinogen available for reabsorption and excretion, the amount of urobilin found in the urine is low. High amounts of the soluble conjugated bilirubin enter the circulation where they are excreted via the kidneys.

  7. Jaundice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaundice

    Jaundice in infants, as in adults, is characterized by increased bilirubin levels (infants: total serum bilirubin greater than 5 mg/dL). Normal physiological neonatal jaundice is due to immaturity of liver enzymes involved in bilirubin metabolism, immature gut microbiota, and increased breakdown of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). [54]

  8. Hyperbilirubinemia in adults - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbilirubinemia_in_adults

    The varied causes of hyperbilirubinemia are best understood from bilirubin metabolism. The total average daily production of bilirubin in humans is 4 mg/kg. 80% of which is derived from haemoglobin (Hb) produced by erythrocyte breakdown, with the remaining from heme proteins, like myoglobin and cytochrome, turnover. [5]

  9. Acute liver failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_liver_failure

    The complications are hepatic encephalopathy and impaired protein synthesis (as measured by the levels of serum albumin and the prothrombin time in the blood). The 1993 classification defines hyperacute as within 1 week, acute as 8–28 days, and subacute as 4–12 weeks; [ 1 ] both the speed with which the disease develops and the underlying ...
