TESTS FOR CONJUGATION AND EXCRETION FUNCTION Flashcards
No physiologic function only a WASTE PRODUCT
which is dapat tinatapon!!! Excreted!!!!
BILIRUBIN
Conjugated which is excreted in the liver
Bilirubin
End product of hemoglobin metabolism
BILIRUBIN
containing proteins such as myoglobin, catalase
and cytochrome oxidase.
Also formed from destruction of heme
85% of the bilirubin
Heme
Other heme containing proteins
15%
Plasma concentration of bilirubin increases upon
birth and reaches its peak on ?
5th day
If bilirubin synthesis > liver clearance rate = ?
INCREASE BILIRUBIN LEVEL
Reference Value :
0-0.2 mg/dL (0-3 µmol/L)
Conjugated bilirubin
Reference Value :
0.2-0.8 mg/dL (3-14
µmol/L)
Unconjugated bilirubin
Reference Value :
0.2-1.0 mg/dL (3-17 µmol/L)
Total bilirubin
Flowchart
will release hemoglobin.
Senescent RBC
Flowchart
consist of iron, heme, globin
Hemoglobin
Flowchart
transported by transferrin to the bone
marrow and inside the cell
Iron
Flowchart
degraded to amino acid-> reuse
Globin
