Determination of the Sum of Bilirubin Sugar Conjugates in Plasma by Bilirubin Oxidase [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 1999 Abstract Background: A reliable indicator of cholestasis is the presence of abnormal concentrations of bilirubin mono- and diglucuronide [conjugated bilirubin (CB)] in blood. A routine assay of CB is available only to those who possess a certain type of clinical analyzer. We describe a two-point manual method for CB that could be adapted

Simulation of Bilirubin Detoxification in the Newborn Using an Extracorporeal Bilirubin Oxidase Reactor [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1989 Jaundice, which is characterized by an excessive accumulation of bilirubin in the blood and tissues, occurs in 13% of newborns. The common treatments for neonatal jaundice are phototherapy and blood exchange transfusion. A novel approach using an extracorporeal blood filter containing immobilized bilirubin oxidase was recently proposed to detoxify ...

Translational Approach to the Protective Effect of Bilirubin in Diabetic Kidney Disease
Biomedicines, 2022 Bilirubin has been regarded as a powerful endogenous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecule, able to act on cellular pathways as a hormone. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common chronic complication of diabetes, and it is the leading cause of end-
