We assessed the relative contributions of increased bilirubin production (indexed by end-tidal carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations, corrected for ambient CO (ETCOc)) to hour-specific total ...

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia results from a predisposition to the production of bilirubin in newborn infants and their limited ability to excrete it. Infants, especially preterm infants ...

Other interventions are designed to limit bilirubin production, enhance its metabolism and excretion, or both (Table 1). Of these interventions, metalloporphyrin inhibition of heme oxygenase ...

Elevated bilirubin concentrations (for age in hours) may occur due to increased bilirubin production (breakdown of heme moiety of hemoglobin) and/or delayed bilirubin elimination (hepatic and ...

The excessive breakdown of red blood cells leads to increased bilirubin production, overwhelming the liver’s capacity to process it. Hemolytic anemia can result from various factors, including ...

The metabolism of bilirubin begins with its production from heme in the spleen and bone marrow, followed by transportation to the liver, where it undergoes enzymatic conversion. The liver plays a ...

High bilirubin levels in newborns may be natural and temporary. However, high bilirubin in adults could be a sign of an underlying health condition, such as jaundice, gallstones, and liver issues.

Surprisingly, the researchers found "exceptional levels" of the stuff in mouse brains -- five to 10 times higher production than in rodents' livers. "Bilirubin is normally considered a waste ...

Hemolysis is a major factor contributing to increased bilirubin production and hyperbilirubinemia during biliary obstruction in the rat [Salomon, et al. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 5:806-810, 1986].

While high bilirubin levels can indicate several health issues, low bilirubin levels usually aren’t anything to worry about. In some cases, it could be a side effect of a medication you take or ...

The metabolism of bilirubin begins with its production from heme in the spleen and bone marrow, followed by transportation to the liver, where it undergoes enzymatic conversion. The liver plays a ...
