Direct bilirubin higher than total bilirubin?
Both total and direct bilirubin measure the formation of azobilirubin, which is detected at 570/660 nm. The total bilirubin reaction contains surfactant and caffeine, which solubilize “indirect” bilirubin and accelerate the reaction (1). Direct bilirubin is a component of total bilirubin and therefore should always be smaller in value. The presence of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (2220mg/dL) fal...

متن کامل"Direct" and total bilirubin tests: contemporary problems.
In eight unique challenges mailed by The College of American Pathologists Comprehensive Chemistry Survey to participating laboratories within 3 years, results for direct-reacting bilirubin (DBIL) were highly variable among the 12 largest peer groups, and most of the results differed greatly from the values obtained by a referred method. Peer-group mean values for total bilirubin (TBIL) were in ...
متن کاملAssociation of bilirubin with cardiovascular outcomes: more hype than substance?
The field of epidemiology has seen many parameters enter the arena as risk factors. Many of them left the scene without leaving a mark, which was often caused by chance findings caused by small sample sizes or spurious associations resulting from confounding by other risk factors. Others became firmly established as risk factors, and therefore drug targets, but finally were dethroned by exclusi...
متن کاملBilirubin/Albumin Ratio for Predicting Acute Bilirubin-induced Neurologic Dysfunction
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the bilirubin albumin (B/A) ratio in comparison with total serum bilirubin (TSB) for predicting acute bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction (BIND). METHODS Fifty two term and near term neonates requiring phototherapy and exchange transfusion for severe hyperbilirubinemia in Children's Medical Center, Tehran, Iran, during September 2007 to Sep...
