The strategy includes examination of infant eye color, stool color, and prior laboratory results to assess whether drawing a direct or conjugated bilirubin level is warranted. HealthDay News ...

BRMS is an uncommon cause of recurrent jaundice and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia in children. Because its presentation may mimic that of a choledochal cyst, the correct diagnosis is frequently ...

If your patient’s conjugated bilirubin is elevated, then history, physical, full laboratory evaluation, and complete imaging of the hepatobiliary tract is warranted.

Thus unconjugated bilirubin is known as ‘indirect’ bilirubin and its conjugated form as ‘direct’ bilirubin. (1) Genes and Gilbert’s syndrome Gilbert’s syndrome is hereditary.

Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is the most typical clinical finding in sepsis because it is always included in standard laboratory analyses. However, serum bile acids are also elevated in sepsis ...

The data was unaffected by phototherapy. They also confirmed that the UnaG method results were not affected by interference from conjugated bilirubin, hemoglobin, or lipids.

The maximum total serum bilirubin values ranged from 23 to 39 mg., with a mean of 34 mg. per 100 ml., with the conjugated bilirubin comprising 65 to 85 per cent of the total serum bilirubin level.

If neonatal jaundice is excluded, they can be divided into two groups of cases, depending on whether the increased plasma bilirubin occurs only in the free or in the free and conjugated forms.
