Measurement and clinical usefulness of bilirubin in liver disease
Advances in laboratory medicine, 2021 Elevated plasma bilirubin levels are a frequent clinical finding. It can be secondary to alterations in any stage of its metabolism: (a) excess bilirubin production (i.e., pathologic hemolysis); (b) impaired liver uptake, with elevation of indirect ...

Serum Bilirubin and Bilirubin/Albumin Ratio as Predictors of Bilirubin Encephalopathy [PDF]
Pediatrics, 2014 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Bilirubin/albumin ratio (B/A) may provide a better estimate of free bilirubin than total serum bilirubin (TSB), thus improving identification of newborns at risk for bilirubin encephalopathy. The objective of the study was to identify thresholds and compare specificities of TSB and B/A in detecting patients with acute and ...
