Sulfobromophthalein/Bilirubin Binding Protein
To clarify sulfobromophthalein (BSP) and bilirubin uptake mechanisms, isolated rat hepatocytes were incubated with [5SJBSP. The initial uptake velocity (V.), determined from the first, linear portion of the cumulative uptake curve, was saturable (Michaelis constant [K.i = 6.2±0.5 ;sM; V.,= = 638±33 pmol X minl' per 10i hepatocytes), maximal at 370C and pH 7.4, and competitively inhibited by bil...
متن کاملDirect bilirubin higher than total bilirubin?
Both total and direct bilirubin measure the formation of azobilirubin, which is detected at 570/660 nm. The total bilirubin reaction contains surfactant and caffeine, which solubilize “indirect” bilirubin and accelerate the reaction (1). Direct bilirubin is a component of total bilirubin and therefore should always be smaller in value. The presence of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (2220mg/dL) fal...
متن کاملSerum bilirubin and bilirubin/albumin ratio as predictors of bilirubin encephalopathy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Bilirubin/albumin ratio (B/A) may provide a better estimate of free bilirubin than total serum bilirubin (TSB), thus improving identification of newborns at risk for bilirubin encephalopathy. The objective of the study was to identify thresholds and compare specificities of TSB and B/A in detecting patients with acute and posttreatment auditory and neurologic impairment...
متن کاملIncidence of Chronic Bilirubin Encephalopathy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Despite the implementation of screening guidelines to identify infants at risk for hyperbilirubinemia, chronic bilirubin encephalopathy (CBE) continues to be reported worldwide in otherwise healthy infants. The incidence of CBE in Canada is unknown. The objectives of this study were to establish the incidence of CBE in Canada and identify epidemiological and medical r...
متن کاملAcute bilirubin encephalopathy in healthy term neonates requiring exchange transfusion
Intruduction: There is a growing concern about an increasing bilirubin-induced neurological dysfunction (BIND) in healthy term neonates with no evidence of hemolytic disease or other risk factors. This study was done to determine the incidence of BIND in otherwise healthy, breast-fed newborn term infants without hemolysis who underwent exchange transfusion. Methods: This study was conducted i...
