Bilirubin Metabolism and Bilirubin Encephalopathy [PDF]
During the last 30 years, there has been much advances in the understanding of pathogenisis of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, but the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy are still remained for the high risk neonates. The mechanisms of bilirubin encephalopathy

Background We occasionally encounter increases in direct bilirubin value on reanalysis of the surplus serum collected in the past from a neonate with indirect hyperbilirubinemia. But the details of this phenomenon are unclear.

Prolonged icterus is an important and common problem in neonatology and accurate determination of the different bilirubin species, including differentiation between delta-bilirubin and mono- and di-conjugated bilirubin, is useful for diagnostic purposes. However, most bilirubin measurements routinely performed in the clinical laboratory are hampered by

Serum Bilirubin and Bilirubin/Albumin Ratio as Predictors of Bilirubin Encephalopathy [PDF]
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 ...

Detection of Compound Heterozygous Sickle Cell-b+ Thalassaemia in a Patient with Extreme Weakness, Mild Jaundice and Moderate Anaemia - A Case Report [PDF]
A 16-year-old female complained of extreme weakness. She had moderate anaemia; her Haemoglobin (Hb) was 7.7 gm/dl. Peripheral blood smear showed few sickled red cells. Sickle cell test was positive. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) revealed

Bilirubin and Brain Toxicity [PDF]
Despite improvements in detection and treatment of neonatal jaundice, there has been an apparent resurgence of bilirubin-induced brain damage. Unresolved issues concerning bilirubin-induced brain damage include the mechanisms by which bilirubin enters ...
