• Notes:

  Bilirubin is a metabolite of the heme portion of heme proteins, mainly hemoglobin. Normally it is excreted into the intestine and bile from the liver. Elevation of total serum bilirubin may occur due to excessive hemolysis or destruction of the red blood cells e.g. hemolytic disease of the newborn, liver diseases e.g. hepatitis and cirrhosis and obstruction of the biliary tract e.g. gallstones.
