Total bilirubin (direct and indirect) ranges from about 0.2 to 1.2 mg/dL (some lab values range as high as 1.9 mg/dL). Medical literature sources have minor variations in "normal" levels. Low bilirubin levels may be due to certain medications such astheophylline(Elixophyllin,Theo-24), phe...
A high direct bilirubin percentage is unlikely to offer any clinical value when total bilirubin is not increased. It is, however, a useful diagnostic tool when there is a persistence of hyperbilirubinemia or when total bilirubin increases during times of stress with direct bilirubin >10%. 展开 ...
Conjugated ("direct") bilirubin.This is the bilirubin once it reaches the liver and undergoes a chemical change. It moves to the intestines before being removed through your stool. Normal bilirubin levels For adults over 18 years, normal total bilirubin can be up to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter...

Some of the urobilinogen gets reabsorbed and undergoes enterohepatic circulation as well as excretion by the kidneys. Total bilirubin (TBL) is a composite of indirect (nonhepatic) and direct (hepatic) bilirubin. In liver disease however, such as obstruction in the biliary duct system, bilirubin...
Total and indirect bilirubin levels were not significantly associated with T2D in either cohort. In conclusion, our findings do not support the protective association between serum bilirubin levels and incident T2D in the middle-aged and elderly adults; instead, direct bilirubin levels were associated ...
IBIL is also called un-conjugated bilirubin, that is, bilirubin that is not bound to glucuronic acid; indirect bilirubin (IBIL) and direct bilirubin (DBIL) make up total bilirubin (TBIL). The principle of blue-light phototherapy is to irradiate the skin with light, change the structure of ...
Though the platelet count and renal function started improving, surprisingly, bilirubin levels were on an upward trend. On day 4 (from initiation of antibiotics), the total bilirubin level was 45.5 mg% and the direct bilirubin level was 42.8 mg%. At this juncture, ceftriaxone was stopped, and...

Abnormal serum total bilirubin (TBIL) levels have been involved in cognitive deficits associated with neuropsychiatric diseases such as mild cognitive impairment and subcortical ischemic vascular disease. However, this relationship has not yet been fully investigated in patients with SCZ. Therefore, the ...
