Effects of bilirubin on health and disease
1
•Chemical formula: C33H36N4O6
•Bilirubin (Latin for golden bile) or BR, is a red-orange
compound that occurs in the normal catabolic pathway that
breaks down heme in vertebrates.
•Its breakdown products cause the brown color of feces. A
different breakdown product is the main component of the
straw-yellow color in urine.
What is bilirubin?
• Reticuloendothelial cells are
macrophages They take up RBC and
metabolized the hemoglobin present
into its individual components; heme
and globin. Globin is further broken
down into amino acids which are
subsequently recycle.
Creation of bilirubin
Bilirubin Conjugation:
• In the bloodstream, unconjugated
bilirubin binds to albumin to
facilitate its transport to the liver.
Once in the liver, glucuronic acid is
added to unconjugated bilirubin by
the enzyme glucuronyl transferase.
.
Bilirubin Excretion:
• Once in the colon, colonic bacteria
deconjugate bilirubin and convert it
into urobilinogen.
• Urobilinogen is oxidized by intestinal
bacteria and converted
to stercobilin and then excreted
through feces.
Types of bilirubin
Direct or conjugated bilirubin:
In the liver, bilirubin is conjugated with enzyme glucanosyltransferase, making it soluble in water.
Indirect or unconjugated bilirubin:
This is the bilirubin created from red blood cell breakdown.
Total bilirubin:
Total bilirubin = direct bilirubin + indirect bilirubin
Delta bilirubin:
Delta bilirubin is albumin-bound conjugated bilirubin
Hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice
• The production of bilirubin is
greater than the ability of the
liver to secrete it and Liver
failure or obstruction of the
hepatic ducts in bilirubin
secretion is the causes of
hyperbilirubinemia.
Reasons for unconjugated bilirubin increase
01
Hemolytic anemia
03
Crigler–Najjar syndrome type

02
Physiological or neonatal

Complelet blood
Use heel

infants
Measurement considerations
Avoid hemolysis
of blood during
sampling
Do not shake the
tube ,Keep the
sample away
from sunlight
Record drugs
that affect the
result
01 02 03 04
Cases of non-acceptance of samples:
Severe hemolysis and lipemic of the sample cause measurement errors.
Sample storage conditions:
 Samples should be stored in the dark and Low temperature.
 At 8
-
2 ° C for 7 days.
 -20° C for 3 months.
 25 -15° C for 2 days. .

Bilirubin measurement method
Why the Jendrassik-Grof method is preferred than the Evelyn Malloy method?
insensitive to sample pH changes
insensitive to 50-fold variation in protein concentration
adequate optical sensitivity even to decreased bilirubin concentrations
not affected by Hgb up to 7.5 g/dL;
Normal range AND Critical range
The effect of bilirubin on health and disease
• Protective effect of bilirubin against
oxidative damage.
• The strongest internal antioxidant.

The idea was to study the effect
of bilirubin on cancer due to its
antioxidant properties.
Effect on p53,p27, and inhibition
of Rb phosphorylation, so that
tumor cells were stopped at
G0 / G1.
Comparison of bilirubin levels in
healthy people and cancer
patient.

Conclusion
Bilirubin is used as an
important factor in the
diagnosis of various
diseases
