Bilirubin Bile. Bilirubin is processed through the liver prior to being removed from the body. The bile components that form gallstones include cholesterol, bile salts, and bilirubin.
The complex bioactivity of bilirubin in the context of CVD
High direct bilirubin helps in diagnosis the liver function and post hepatic jaundice caused by obstruction of bilirubin in common bile ducts (obstructive jaundice) by gallstones, tumors, or scarring of bile ducts, also some diseases cause liver function failure such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, and drug reactions. A bilirubin test measures the amount of bilirubin in a blood sample. The conjugated bilirubin is then actively secreted into canalicular bile and drains into the small intestine.
