1
Normal
Total serum bilirubin
Direct serum bilirubin
Total Serum Bilirubin < 17 micromolar uM
Serum Direct bilirubin < 5 uM
2
Ratio for a
direct hyperbilirubinemia
and for
indirect hyperbilirubinemia
Direct: direct / total < 0.2
Indirect: direct / total >0.4
3
Subicterus total bilirubin value
Jaundice total bilirubin value
Subicterus between 17uM and 50uM
Jaundice, above 50uM
4
Normal LDH
Normal ALP
Normal GGT
and what are these all for?
LDH: lactate dehydrogenase, found in RBCs, indicates hemolysis if it is > 160 U/L
ALP: Alkaline phosphatase indicates obstructive jaundice or bone disorder if >150 U/L
GGT: Gamma Glutamyl Trasnpeptidase: also indicates obstructive jaundice if > 60 U/L
