Normal bilirubin value

Bilirubin is one of the bile pigments and is the most important pigment in the human body. Bilirubin is orange-yellow in color. The bilirubin level is usually checked during liver function tests. Bilirubin can also be used to determine indicators of jaundice and liver function, so the bilirubin test is very important. Many friends do not know what the normal level of bilirubin is. Let me introduce it to you below, I hope it will be helpful to you.

If the bilirubin level is high, you should pay more attention to your diet. You should eat nutritious and light food. For example, soy products, fruits and vegetables, and fish have good antioxidant functions and are easily absorbed by the human body. They are suitable for patients with high bilirubin. The following is a brief introduction to the relevant content of bilirubin so that you can better understand your physical condition.

In liver function tests, the normal range of bilirubin is as follows: [total bilirubin] 1.71～17.1μmol/L (0.1mg/dl～1.0mg/dl). [Direct bilirubin] 0～3.42μmol/L (0～0.2mg/dl). [Indirect bilirubin 0～13.68μmol/L (0～0.8mg/dl)

Bilirubin is a type of bile pigment. It is the main pigment in human bile and is orange-yellow in color. It is the main metabolite of iron porphyrin compounds in the body. It is toxic and can cause irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system, but it also has antioxidant function and can inhibit the oxidation of linoleic acid and phospholipids. Bilirubin is an important basis for clinical diagnosis of jaundice and an important indicator of liver function.

Bilirubin is a pigment produced by hemoglobin in red blood cells. Red blood cells have a fixed lifespan and are destroyed every day. At this time, hemoglobin will break down into heme (haem) and heme. The iron-containing heme is then converted into bilirubin by enzymes, and the heme is reconstituted into tissue protein. The indirect bilirubin produced in this way is called protein-bound bilirubin. Indirect bilirubin is converted into direct bilirubin (rich in bilirubin) by enzyme action in the liver and excreted from the bile duct.

Everyone knows the normal value of bilirubin. Under normal circumstances, if the bilirubin is too high, it is not easy to detect. It can only be detected during liver function tests. However, once it is detected, everyone needs to pay attention to it so that they can pay better attention to their own bodies.
