What color stopper and additive do you use when testing for bilirubin?
lt blue
What is indirect bilirubin?
Indirect bilirubin travels through the blood stream to the liver. Indirect bilirubin does not dissolve in water until it reaches the liver.
What tube color to use for collection of blood for electrolyte testing?
Green tube which contains the anticoagulant Heparin is ideal for electrolyte testing.
What color tube is used for bilirubin?
You could use a Red/Gray SST tube, or you could use a Green sodium heparin tube.
Why is indirect bilirubin not seen in urine?
indirect bilirubin cannot be measured in the urine. Indirect bilirubin is in the form of unconjugated bilirubin which is insoluble to water and it is non polar in nature, another is that bilirubin is binded to albumin, which result to high molecular weight that's the reason why it cannot pass to the glomeruli for the glomeruli can only pass through molecules having lower molecular weights.
What gives plasma it's yellow color?
Bilirubin
What color stopper and additive do you use when testing for bilirubin?

What are the pigments released by the liver in bile called?
From the glossary of medical terms the answer is: BILIRUBIN
Why does plasma color is pale yellow?
it could be yellow but it depends on what plasma you mean
Why might choledocolithiasis cause jaundice?
well, you see.. jaundice is caused by the elevation of UNCONJUGATED bilirubin level in our blood.. a high level of unconjugated bilirubin in blood will enter our body tissue and make our skin looks yellow.bilirubin is metabolized in the liver, thus making the unconjugated bilirubin changed into conjugated one. and these conjugated bilirubin will be excreted to our intestine and it will give color to our urine an feces.in patients with choledocolithiasis, there is an obstruction caused by the gallstone inside the duct where conjugated bilirubin should be excreted.. this obstruction makes the liver unable to metabolize the unconjugated bilirubin, and so the level of unconjugated bilirubin will rise, having effect of jaundice.
How can you change the color of your poop?
The color comes mainly from bilirubin, a pigment that arises from the breakdown of red blood cells in the liver and bone marrow. The actual metabolic pathway of bilirubin and its byproducts in the body is very complicated, so we will simply say that a lot of it ends up in the intestine, where it is further modified by bacterial action. But the color itself comes from iron. Iron in hemoglobin in red blood cells gives blood its red color, and iron in the waste product bilirubin gives rise to its brown color.
End product of hemoglobin breakdown is?
bilirubin
High levels of billirubin in the blood stream can result in?
jaundice the normal serum bilirubin level is 0.5 to 1.5mg%. jaundice occurs when the bilirubin level exceeds 2mg%. the increased blood level of bilirubin is called hyperbilirubinemia. excess bilirubin from blood diffuses into the tissues, skin and mucous membrane, colouring them yellow. this condition caused by overflow of bilirubin is called jaundice.
Pigment produced by the destruction of hemoglobin in the liver is called?
When the erythrocytes are destroyed, haemoglobin breaks down, the heme part of it goes through a series of transformation: Heme → biliverdin (green pigment) biliverdin → bilirubin (orange-yellow pigment) Bilirubin + blood albumin → bound bilirubin (in peripheral blood) Bound bilirubin + glucuronic acid → conjugated bilirubin. (in liver) Conjugated bilirubin + intestinal bacteria → several pigments, including - stercobolin (orange-brown pigment, excreted in feces) and - urobilinogen (reabsorbed into bile/blood, finally excreted in urine)
Is raised bilirubin a sign or a symptom?
Raised bilirubin is a symptom
Can indirect bilirubin be more than total bilirubin?
yes
Total and fractionated bilirubin?
Liver makes bilirubin water soluble for excretion into the urine....get total bilirubin from complete CFP...
