the orange-yellow pigment in bile.
In jaundice there is depostion of billirubin and bile salts in the skin, the billirubin gives the yellow color and the salts is the reason of pruritis.
Bright yello
billirubin and heme pigments
small infection
condition known as jaundice
because the excretory products are extremely toxic e.g billirubin, urea etc
For billirubin to accumulate and be clinically evident in the sclera and skin, levels have to exceed 35mmol/L.
A test tube used for bilirubin testing is typically amber-colored. This color helps protect the sample from light exposure, which can break down the bilirubin molecules and affect the test results.
Jaundice is a sign of low liver function or high billirubin levels. In newborns, it is best to feed the newborn breastmilk or formula to flush their system. In adults, a simple high carbohydrate diet would be best.
It's very fatal......... Having such high billirubin is deadly dangerous........ Check wit a doctor for jaundice.....n take utmost care to keep it in control coz if it rises more, it can be very serious,...........
This is bile duct obstruction. Bile accumulates in the gallbladder and it will eventually get full. One of the job's of the liver is to transport billirubin (a waste product) to the gallbladder for excretion, but if the gallbladder is backed up, then billirubin will leak into the circulation, and the person will get jaundice. The person might also have trouble digesting fats and lipids.
It depends on the type of thalassemia. Some forms have minimal signs and symptoms. But others can certainly cause jaundice. Beta-thalassemia major affects how red blood cells develop. Those that actually do make it into the blood stream bear "inclusion bodies" that are detected by the spleen. The spleen destroys these red blood cells, releasing cell content, including bilirubin. Because red blood cells are getting destroyed, the body tries to make more and more, and the spleen keeps destroying them. The body can't clear the bilirubin which presents as jaundice.
