Definition
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
| What kind of reaction is the bilirubin strip test? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| how sensitive is the strip test for bilirubin? |
|
Definition
| 0.4 to 0.8 mg/dL conjugated bilirubin |
|
|
Term
| Would bilirubin be present in the urine in hemolytic anemia? |
|
Definition
| No, because unconjugated bilirubin is not water soluble so it's not excreted by the kidneys. |

|
Definition
| hepatitis, liver disease, biliary tract obstruction. |
|

|
Definition
| Use of stored fats for energy in the absence of available carbohydrates for whatever reason. (starvation, diabetes, vomiting, etc.) |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
| hemolytic jaundice or liver disfunction (cirrhosis?) |
|
|
Term
