   Extremely high levels of unconjugated bilirubin in plasma enables bilirubin to cross the blood-brain-barrier to reach the brain and central nervous system to impart damage. This is termed kernicterus, or bilirubin encephalopathy. Kernicterus is rare in adults but is prevalent in newborns with underdeveloped blood-brain barriers and lower ...

4. Bilirubin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilirubin

   Bilirubin is not normally detectable in the urine of healthy people. If the blood level of conjugated bilirubin becomes elevated, e.g. due to liver disease, excess conjugated bilirubin is excreted in the urine, indicating a pathological process. [60] Unconjugated bilirubin is not water-soluble and so is not excreted in the urine.

   Kernicterus is a bilirubin-induced brain dysfunction. [1] The term was coined in 1904 by Christian Georg Schmorl.Bilirubin is a naturally occurring substance in the body of humans and many other animals, but it is neurotoxic when its concentration in the blood is too high, a condition known as hyperbilirubinemia.

6. Hemolytic jaundice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_jaundice

   Only when the canalicular excretion capacity is exceeded, conjugated bilirubin will accumulate in the plasma. [26] As unconjugated bilirubin has a high affinity to albumin, at high level it is not efficiently cleared through glomerular filtration and it binds to the elastic tissue of the skin and sclera, where high albumin content can be found ...
