Bilirubin is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism, caused by the body’s clearance of aged red blood cells which contain hemoglobin. Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and elevated levels may indicate certain diseases

Specimen:Serum

Reference Values:

Adults: 0-0.3 mg/dl
Neonates: 0-0.6 mg/dl

Method: Colorimetric

Loinc: 14629-0

Bilirubin is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism, caused by the body’s clearance of aged red blood cells which contain hemoglobin. Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and elevated levels may indicate certain diseases Total bilirubin (TBIL) measures both BU and BC. Total and direct bilirubin levels can be measured from the blood

Specimen: Serum

B. pertussis has the ability to inhibit the function of the host’s immune system. The toxin, known as pertussis toxin (or PTx), inhibits G protein coupling that regulates an adenylate cyclase-mediated conversion of ATP to cyclic AMP. The end result is phagocytes convert too much ATP to cyclic AMP, which can cause disturbances in cellular signaling mechanisms, and prevent phagocytes from correctly responding to an infection. PTx, formerly known as lymphocytosis-promoting factor, causes a decrease in the entry of lymphocytes into lymph nodes, which can lead to a condition known as lymphocytosis, with a complete lymphocyte count of over 4000/μl in adults or over 8000/μl in children.

Specimen: 0.2 ml Serum

Reference Values:

<8 IU/ml Negative
8-11 IU/ml Probably recent infection
>11 IU/ml Recent infection
