From the glossary of medical terms the answer is: BILIRUBIN
The color of Bilirubin is orange Bilirubin is an orange color pigment in the bile
bilirubin
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)
Raised bilirubin is a symptom
yes
Liver makes bilirubin water soluble for excretion into the urine....get total bilirubin from complete CFP...
Bilirubin comes from recycled hemoglobin
Bilirubin levels can be measured by blood tests
Indirect bilirubin travels through the blood stream to the liver. Indirect bilirubin does not dissolve in water until it reaches the liver.
The medical term for bilirubin in the blood is hyperbilirubinemia.
Bilirubin is a normal component of the body. It is not a condition that requires treatment.
