The prognosis in an adult with high bilirubin levels may range from good to poor, depending upon the underlying cause of the elevation. For example, most hepatitis A patients recover completely, while patients with liver cancer or cirrhosis may have a poorer outcome. What is the prognosis for ...
Jaundice in an adult patient has got myriad reasons ranging from benign to life-threatening causes; in tropical countries, the causes may be skewed in favo
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most frequent diagnoses made in neonates. A high level of unconjugated bilirubin that is unbound to albumin is neurotoxic when the level exceeds age-specific thresholds or at lower levels in neonates with neuroto
Bilirubin is a reddish-yellow bile pigment whose presence in blood serum at too high a level indicates jaundice, and its measurement is used as a liver function test. Typically, adult bilirubin levels fall between 0.2 and 1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Anything above 1.2 mg/dL is ...
38 However, markers of elevated iron stores such as hyperferritinemia occur in a subset of metabolic syndrome patients and has been termed ‘dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome’.39 Similarly, bilirubin levels are inversely correlated with prevalence of type 2 diabetes in humans,40 and mouse ...

Samples containing more than 3.0 mg/dL of conjugated bilirubin were excluded because of their significant effect on CEC measurement. However, the effect of up to 11.6 mg/dL unconjugated bilirubin, which was the maximum value measured in the samples used, was within the range of measurement ...
Model 3 involved comprehensive adjustments for multiple variables: age, gender, race, education level, diabetes status, hypertension status, smoking habits, BMI, household income, and various biochemical markers including ALT, AST, GGT, total bilirubin, HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol levels.
