A guideline for management of hyperbilirubinemia in the newborns based solely on total/indirect serum bilirubin levels is considered outmoded. And approach to the identification of newborns at risk of bilirubin toxicity due to the increase of unbound bilirubin is proposed. Unbound bilirubin can easily enter the brain and bind to the nerve cells. A peroxidase oxidation method using unbound bilir…
Detecting bilirubin the urine plays an important role in diagnostic approach to the patient with jaundice. If there is no facilities to examine serum bilirubin, detection bilirubin in the urine can determine whether jaundice is predominantly due to conjugated or unconjugated hyper bilirubinemia. In this research, it had been studied a new technique to examine bilirubin in the urine. It had been…
