B-111 Bilirubinmeter

Clinical Implications

Bilirubin is a byproduct of the breakdown of hemoglobin by the liver. When hemoglobin is metabolized, insoluble bilirubin is produced. The insoluble (indirect) bilirubin is broken down into a water soluble (conjugated or direct) form. Direct bilirubin is then excreted. Most neonates have a degree of jaundice shortly after birth, because the liver is not fully developed. Newborn infants must be monitored to identify those who might develop severe hyperbilirubinemia.
