Serum from a patient without myeloma and a comparable concentration of
conjugated bilirubin was included as a control.

From 556 patients, 96.6% had a normal pH value (4.8 to 7.4) and 19 (3.4%) had a basic pH ([greater than or equal to]7.4); these patients with a basic urinary pH had significantly lower serum values of BUN, TB,
conjugated bilirubin [DB], and unconjugated bilirubin [IB] (Table 3) and a significant lower frequency of hepatic dysfunction (OR 0.6, CI 0.5-0.8) (Table 4).
Cholestasis results from reduced excretion of bile due to a number of disorders [1] and is defined as
conjugated bilirubin more than 20% of the total bilirubin when the total bilirubin is 85 [micro]mol/L or more, and 17 [micro]mol/L or more when the total bilirubin is 85 [micro]mol/L or less.
In relation to the test performed to evaluate the ability of the active in reducing bilirubin accumulation, 0.01%
conjugated bilirubin was mixed with 10mg/mL plankton extract for 24 hours.
Synthetic
conjugated bilirubin (ditaurobilirubin, Lee Biosolutions, St Louis, Missouri) was dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4 (final concentration 300 mg/dL), aliquoted, and frozen at -80[degrees]C.
Six months after discontinuation of lisinopril ALP was 199 U/L, GGT 168 U/L with AST 19 U/L, ALT 17 U/L, total bilirubin 0.9mg/dl and
conjugated bilirubin 0.21mg/dl.
To investigate the impact of 2,5-HD treatment on liver function, the levels of AST, ALT, ALP, albumin, and total and
conjugated bilirubin were determined in the serum of control and 2,5-HD-treated rats after 21 days.
Raised levels of bilirubin *
Conjugated Bilirubin. Water soluble (needs to be in this state for excretion) * Unconjugated Bilirubin.
Each step in the metabolism of haeme to
conjugated bilirubin involves enzymes.
Because
conjugated bilirubin does not cross the placenta from the fetal into the maternal circulation, it is excreted into the fetal bile or amniotic fluid, where it is then transferred to the maternal circulation.
PN-related cholestasis was defined as an elevation of
conjugated bilirubin greater than or equal to 50 [micro]mol/L subsequent to initiation of PN.
