About Beckman Coulter OSR6112 Olympus Total Bilirubin Reagent (Total Bilirubin Test)
Measurement of the levels of bilirubin, an organic compound formed during the normal and abnormal destruction of red blood cells, is used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic, hematologic, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder block.
Methodology: Beckman Coulter OSR6112 Olympus Total Bilirubin Reagent (Total Bilirubin Test)
Total bilirubin in serum is composed of direct (conjugated) bilirubin and indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin. Since the introduction of the diazo method for bilirubin determination by Ehrlich in 1883,1several modifications have been proposed to enhance the reaction.
The primary reason for these modifications is that while direct bilirubin couples directly with the diazotized compound to yield a colored product, the indirect portion of bilirubin requires a solubilizing agent, such as a surfactant. This Total Bilirubin Reagent is a variation of the classical method.
A stabilized diazonium salt, 3,5-dichlorophenyldiazonium tetrafluoroborate (DPD),reacts with bilirubin to form azobilirubin which absorbs at 570/660 nm. Caffeine and a surfactant are used as reaction accelerators. The absorbance at 570/660 nm is proportional to the bilirubin concentration in the sample. A separate serum blank is performed to eliminate endogenous serum interferences.
What is Total Bilirubin Test?
This is a blood test that measures the amount of a substance called bilirubin. This test is used to find out how well your liver is working. It is often part of a panel of tests that measure liver function. A small amount of bilirubin in your blood is normal, but a high level may be a sign of liver disease.
The liver makes bile to help you digest food, and bile contains bilirubin. Most bilirubin comes from the body’s normal process of breaking down old red blood cells. A healthy liver can normally get rid of bilirubin. But when you have liver problems, bilirubin can build up in your body to unhealthy levels.
What do Total Bilirubin test results mean?
Total Bilirubin Test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, and other things. Your test results may be different depending on the lab used. They may not mean you have a problem. Ask your healthcare provider what your test results mean for you.
Total Bilirubin Test results depend on your age, gender, and health. Normal bilirubin levels are generally less than 1 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL). Adults with jaundice generally have bilirubin levels greater than 2.5mg/dL. In an otherwise healthy newborn, bilirubin levels greater than 15 mg/dL may cause problems.
