Bilirubin

The orange-yellow pigment of bile, the green fluid that aids in digestion and that is secreted by the liver. Bilirubin is formed mainly by hemoglobin breakdown at the end of red cell life and eventually most of it leaves the body in the feces. Two types are in the blood. Water insoluble or unconjugated Bilirubin refers to the pigment before it reaches the liver. In the liver it is converted to the water-soluble or conjugated Bilirubin which is excreted into the bile. blood tests for total Bilirubin measure both unconjugated and conjugated Bilirubin, and are performed to evaluate jaundice. anemia, various liver diseases (including Hepatitis), and impaired bile excretion.
