-
Clinical chemistry reagents intended to perform qualitative and/or quantitative chemical analysis of body fluids (typically in serum) to determine the total level of bilirubin, including both direct (conjugated) bilirubin and indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin. The level of bilirubinin blood is commonly increased (i.e., hyperbilirubinemia) in newborns (physiological jaundice) and in patients with hepatic disorders that usually produce jaundice; the level is low in other diseases (e.g., Gilbert\'s syndrome).
