Literature Review: Advances in Evaluating Serum Bilirubin Elevations.
Abstract
Unexplained elevations in total serum bilirubin are a common and perplexing problem to physicians who must interpret the clinical laboratory screening results in an apparently healthy population. The patients seen by the USAFSAM Consultation Service have a 3.9% incidence of unexplained elevated total serum bilirubin. In order to select and interpret followup studies, the physician must have a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of conjugated and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. The literature on this subject is reviewed, and appropriate followup studies are recommended. (Author)
