Title : Estimation of Total Bilirubin and Direct Bilirubin. Aim : To determine the concentration of Total Bilirubin‚ Direct Bilirubin and Indirect Bilirubin in sample X. Principle : Procedure (A) : Estimation of Total Bilirubin. Total bilirubin‚ both conjugated and free‚ are measured by using a stabilized diazonium salt of 3‚ 5-dichloroaniline which reacts with bilirubin to form azobilirubin with maximum absorbance at 540nm. Procedure (B) : Estimation of Direct Bilirubin. This methods are based

TITLE: TOTAL BILIRUBIN & DIRECT BILIRUBIN LABORATORY: 19 & 20 INTENDED USE: 1. For the quantitative determination of total bilirubin in serum 2. For the quantitative determination of direct bilirubin in serum INTRODUCTION: One part of bile is a yellow (or brownish) substance called bilirubin. Bilirubin starts out as a product of the breakdown of red blood cells. When red blood cells break down‚ the heme molecule is converted into bilirubin. Bilirubin starts out

BILIRUBIN FORMATION AND EXCRETION Bilirubin‚ the principal pigment in bile‚ is derived from the breakdown of hemoglobin when aged red blood cells are phagocytized by the reticuloendothelial system‚ primarily in the spleen‚ liver and bone marrow. About 80% of bilirubin formed daily comes from the degradation of hemoglobin. The remainder comes from destruction of heme-containing proteins and catabolism of heme. When hemoglobin is destroyed‚ the protein portion‚ globin is reused in the body. The

On examination‚ it is noted that the skin is jaundiced and the liver enlarged. D.W. denies significant alcohol or drug use. He denies any known exposure to hepatitis and has never been vaccinated for hepatitis. He is taking no medication. Laboratory tests reveal the following and a diagnosis of acute hepatitis B is made: 1. Review

high levels in blood of the chemical bilirubin. The color of the skin and sclerae varies depending on how high or low the blood of the chemical bilirubin is. When the level is highly elevated‚ the skin or sclerae is yellowish; when the level is high the skin or sclerae is brown. Jaundice occurs when there is too much bilirubin being produced for the liver to remove from the blood. Jaundice also occurs when there is a defect in the liver that prevents bilirubin from being removed from the blood‚ converted

jaundice than any other race. Jaundice is also called icterus and it forms in the body when there is too much bilirubin in your body. Bilirubin is a yellow-pigmented substance produced when hemoglobin breaks down from red blood cells. Occurring at the same time‚ the liver is removing all of the old red blood cells as well as the excess bilirubin. When the liver is unable to remove the bilirubin‚ it causes a buildup in the body making the skin‚ eyes‚ and mucus membranes in the mouth to turn yellow. There

The child’s liver is amplified and iron deficiency proceeds. Kernicterus: the most serious type of an excessive amount of bilirubin and results from the development of bilirubin in the cerebrum.

Lab test results show a positive anti-HCV and confirm that Chad has Hepatitis C. The nurse explains to Chad that Hepatitis is liver disease with inflammation of the cells of the liver. Chad states "I can’t have Hepatitis. I had all three of the vaccinations before I started working as a paramedic." There are five major types of viral Hepatitis: A‚ B‚ C‚ D‚ and E. 1.
