What Is Bilirubin?
Bilirubin is the by product of the breakdown of
heme which is found in red blood cells.
Iron
Heme
Biliverdin
Bilirubin albumin
complex
Liver Unconjugated bilirubin
Conjugated bilirubin
Urobilinogen
Stercobilin
Red blood cells are Red blood cells
broken down in the break down to
Reticuloendothelial hemoglobin which is
System further broken down
to iron, globin, and
heme

Iron
Heme is further
broken down to
biliverdin then to Heme
unconjugated Unconjugated bilirubin
bilirubin by the Biliverdin
is then carried to the
enzyme biliverdin liver by albumin
reductase

Bilirubin albumin
complex excreted in the

Conjugated bilirubin
Stercobilin is
Urobilinogen excreted in the

Mechanism of Bilirubin Formation
Prematurity
Polycythemia
Penyebab Peningkatan Kadar Bilrubin
a. Proses Fisiologis
1) volume sel darah merah tinggi kompensasi tekanan
partial oksigen yang rendah
2) umur sel darah merah pendek dan
3) peningkatan resirkulasi enterohepatal dari bilirubin
4) Kurangnya ambilan (uptake) hati dampak
penurunan konsentrasi protein pengikat bilirubin
(seperti ligandin)
5) Kurangnya konjugasi masih rendahnya aktivitas
glukoronil transferase
Prematurity & Hyperbilirubinemia
Premature infants are more susceptible to
hyperbilirubinemia due to:
Immature hepatic system
Delayed enteral feedings
Decrease in serum albumin levels
Prematurity & Hyperbilirubinemia
Immature hepatic system - leads to decreased elimination of
bilirubin from the system; therefore, higher levels of indirect
bilirubin are in the blood which leads to hyperbilirubinemia
Reticuloendothelial System
Iron
Heme
Biliverdin
Bilirubin albumin
complex
Liver Unconjugated bilirubin
Conjugated bilirubin
Urobilinogen
Stercobilin
Prematurity &
Hyperbilirubinemia
Delayed enteral feedings - if feedings are delayed it
decreases intestinal motility and removal of meconium, which
leads to reabsorption of direct bilirubin, which is converted back to
indirect bilirubin. Which means bilirubin increases in the blood
and leads to hyperbilirubinemia

Bilirubin albumin

Liver Unconjugated bilirubin
Conjugated bilirubin
Urobilinogen
Stercobilin
Prematurity & Hyperbilirubinemia
Decrease in serum albumin levels - if there is a
decrease in the amount of albumin receptors available,
bilirubin does not bind to the albumin; therefore, is
considered free bilirubin. Which means bilirubin
increases in the blood and leads to hyperbilirubinemia

Polycythemia is an increased level of red blood
cells (RBCs) in the circulatory system

OATP 2
In the study done, the identified polymorphisms
in the OATP 2 enzyme, which led to increased
risk for hyperbilirubinemia in the Asian
population
If the enzyme activity is delayed there will be
increased levels of unconjugated bilirubin in the
blood, therefore leading to hyperbilirubinemia

In the study done, the authors identified
polymorphisms in the UGT1A1 enzyme
which, led to increased risk for
hyperbilirubinemia in the Asian population
If the enzyme activity is delayed there will
be increased bilirubin in the blood,
therefore leading to hyperbilirubinemia
