Bilirubin is a pigment produced by hemoglobin in red blood cells. Red blood cells have a fixed life span and are destroyed every day. At this time, hemoglobin will be decomposed into positive heme (haem) and heme. Then heme will become bilirubin under the action of heme according to the enzyme, and heme will be re made into tissue protein.
Normal value: total bilirubin: 1.7 ~ 17.1 μ mol/L; Direct bilirubin: 0 ~ 3.42 μ mol/L; Indirect bilirubin: 1.7 ~ 13.68 μ mol/L.

bilirubin
The life span of bilirubin human red blood cells is generally 120 days. After death, red blood cells become indirect bilirubin (I-Bil), which is converted into direct bilirubin (D-Bil) through the liver to form bile, which is discharged into the biliary tract, and finally discharged through the stool. The sum of indirect bilirubin and direct bilirubin is total bilirubin (T-Bil). Obstacles in any of the above links can cause jaundice. If the red blood cells are destroyed too much, the indirect bilirubin produced is too much, and the liver cannot completely convert it into direct bilirubin, hemolytic jaundice can occur. When the liver cells are diseased, or because bilirubin cannot be converted into bile normally, or because the liver cells are swollen, the bile ducts in the liver are pressed, the excretion of bile is blocked, and the bilirubin in the blood is increased, then hepatocellular jaundice occurs; Once the extrahepatic biliary system has tumors or stones, the biliary tract will be blocked, bile can not be discharged smoothly, and obstructive jaundice will occur. The jaundice of hepatitis patients is generally hepatocyte jaundice, that is to say, both direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin are increased, while the direct bilirubin is mainly increased in patients with cholestatic hepatitis.
1. Increased total bilirubin and direct bilirubin: intrahepatic and extrahepatic obstructive jaundice, pancreatic head cancer, cholangiocapillary hepatitis and other bile stasis syndrome.
2. Increased total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin: hemolytic anemia, incompatible blood type transfusion, malignant disease, neonatal jaundice, etc.
3. Total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin increased: acute icteric hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis, toxic hepatitis, etc.

Schematic diagram of bilirubin metabolism
Diagram of Bilirubin Metabolism Most of the bilirubin in the body comes from hemoglobin released by aging erythrocyte lysis, including indirect bilirubin and direct bilirubin. Indirect bilirubin is transported to the liver through blood, and generates direct bilirubin through the action of hepatocytes. The increase of bilirubin can be seen in:
(1) Liver diseases: acute icteric hepatitis, acute yellow liver necrosis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc.
(2) Extrahepatic diseases: hemolytic jaundice, transfusion reaction with incompatible blood group, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, etc;
It can judge whether there is jaundice, the degree of jaundice and the evolution process. When the total bilirubin is>17.1 μ mol/L, but L is recessive jaundice or subclinical or subclinical jaundice; 3.42~171 μ mol/L is mild jaundice, 171~342 μ mol/L is moderate jaundice, and>342 μ mol/L is severe jaundice.
The etiology of jaundice can also be inferred according to the degree of jaundice: hemolytic jaundice is usually L, hepatocyte jaundice is 17.1-171 μ mol/L, incomplete obstructive jaundice is 171-265 μ mol/L, and complete obstructive jaundice is usually>342 μ mol/L.
At the same time, the type of jaundice can be judged according to the degree of increase of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin: if total bilirubin increases with significant increase of indirect bilirubin, it indicates hemolytic jaundice; if total bilirubin increases with significant increase of direct bilirubin, it indicates cholestatic jaundice, and all three increase are hepatocyte jaundice.
