Question: In jaundice ration 0-1 is normal (as understood on internet). I would like to know, what is the progress rate from 0 to fettle (in my case it is 7)? In how many days, if it is not taken care properly or not determined/diagnosed properly that it is jaundice.
Answer:
- The liver produces a fluid called the ‘œBile’. Bilirubin, a yellowish pigment is the most important consitutent of Bile. Lets understand some the anatomical and physiological consideration related to bilirubin,
- Red blood corpuscles (RBC) are composed of Hemoglobin, which breaks down into heme (iron component) and globin (protein component).Heme is transformed into bilirubin and is carried to the bile ducts located in the liver.
- In the liver, the bilirubin is released into the bile. The bilirubin gets attached with a protein molecule and hence referred to as conjugated or direct bilirubin, while some of the bilirubin doesn’t get attached to any molecule and is released into the bile in its isolated form, which is refered to as unconjugated or indirect bilirubin
- Conjugated bilirubin gets stored in the gallbladder or is directly transferred to the small intestines. Bilirubin helps in absorption and digestion fats, which are an integral part of our diet.
- The yellow colour of the feces or urine is attributed to the presence of bilirubin
Total bilirubin ranges from 0.3 to 1.8 milligrams per decileter while direct bilirubin is ranges from 0 to 0.3 milligrams per deciliter. If the bilirubin levels are higher than the ranges provided here, it may result in Jaundice. Jaundice is not a disease but a symptom which is associated with several disease conditions and occurring primarily due to the red blood corpuscles are being destroyed very fast or blockage of the bile duct.
