Is a bilirubin level of 60 dangerous in an adult?
Um... YES!! The high normal bilirubin level is 1.5
What are the pigments released by the liver in bile called?
From the glossary of medical terms the answer is: BILIRUBIN
What does total serum bilirubin produce?
Total serum bilirubin measures the levels of bilirubin in the blood, which is a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells. Elevated levels can indicate liver dysfunction, bile duct obstruction, or hemolytic anemia. Clinically, it helps diagnose conditions such as jaundice and liver disease. Total bilirubin is typically divided into direct (conjugated) and indirect (unconjugated) fractions to provide further insight into the underlying cause of elevation.
Investigations done in jaundice case?
Check the bilirubin level.
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.

What does a low bilirubin mean?
A low bilirubin level may indicate impairment of bilirubin production or an underlying medical condition such as anemia or malnutrition. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
What is the bilirubin level in jaundice?
In jaundice, bilirubin levels typically exceed 2.5 to 3.0 mg/dL, leading to the yellowing of the skin and eyes. Elevated bilirubin can result from various causes, including liver disease, hemolysis, or bile duct obstruction. The specific level can vary depending on the underlying condition and its severity. Monitoring bilirubin levels is crucial for diagnosing and managing the underlying causes of jaundice.
Is 29 a high bilirubin level?
A bilirubin level of 29 mg/dL is considered high and may indicate a medical condition that requires further evaluation. Normal total bilirubin levels typically range from about 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL. Elevated bilirubin can result from liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Test for bilirubin level in amniotic fluid can be invalidated by?
The bilirubin level test in amniotic fluid can be invalidated by factors such as contamination with maternal blood, which can artificially elevate bilirubin levels. Additionally, the timing of the sample collection relative to the rupture of membranes can affect the results, as bilirubin may diffuse from the fetal blood into the amniotic fluid over time. Proper handling and processing of the sample are crucial to ensure accurate results.
A decreasing level of bilirubin in amniotic fluid after 16-30 weeks is?
