Initial testing includes blood type anddirect Coombs test. If the patient is receivingphototherapyor has a rapid rise in total serum bilirubin, especially crossing percentiles, additional tests should be obtained including complete blood count and smear along withdirect bilirubin. It is an option to ...

Fasting venous blood from participants was collected to measure biochemical parameters. The concentrations of serum TBIL (normal range 5–21 μmol/L) levels, total cholesterol (TC,0.00–5.18 mmol/L), triglyceride (TG, normal range:0.00–1.7 mmol/L), low density lipoprotein (LDL, ...
blood cell count, reticulocyte count, and serum bilirubin assays sent to the laboratory. A serum bilirubin level assay was repeated every 8 hours until the level stabilized or phototherapy was started. Hospital routine for all infants regardless of direct Coombs test results included drawing a serum...
Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) hydrolyzes numerous peptides and is a critical participant in blood pressure regulation and vascular remodeling. Elevated tissue ACE levels are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular and respiratory disord
The rupture of red blood cells in the blood stream during malaria infection is associated with an increase in indirect bilirubin, but the primary schizogony of the malarial parasite also leads to the rupture of infected hepatocytes and elevates direct bilirubin levels. Both of these factors contrib...

and the direct (conjugated) bilirubin is greater than 2 mg/dL or more than 30% of the total bilirubin concentration. Multiple disorders of increased bilirubin production (e.g., hemolysis secondary to maternal-fetalblood group incompatibility, otherhemoglobinopathies, reabsorption of red blood cells ...
