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 ...

Inhibition of Lipid Accumulation in Skeletal Muscle and Liver Cells: A Protective Mechanism of Bilirubin Against Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Ectopic lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle and liver drives the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2). Mild hyperbilirubinaemia has been repeatedly suggested to play a role in the prevention of DMT2 and is known for its capacity to shape an ...

A component could not be larger than the whole, polyclonal immunoglobulin interference in conjugated/direct bilirubin assay and elimination: A case report

Clinical Case Reports, 2022
Analytical interferences (hemolysis, icterus, paraproteinemia, and lipemia) are of great concern in laboratory tests. In our case report, the conjugated bilirubin result of a patient was significantly higher than the total bilirubin.

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 ...
