ESTIMATION OF BILIRUBIN
Competency BI 11.12 Demonstrate the estimation of serum
bilirubin
AIM & METHOD
•AIM:
• To determine the amount of total, direct and indirect bilirubin present in the given serum/ plasma
sample.
•METHOD: Modified DMSO/Diazo method
principle
• Sulfanilic acid reacts with sodium nitrite to form diazotized sulfanilic acid.
• Bilirubin reacts with diazotized sulfanilic acid in the presence of DMSO to form reddish
purple Azobilirubin (Van Den Berg Reaction).
• Water soluble, Conjugated bilirubin react very fast with Diazo reagent.
• Whereas unconjugated bilirubin present in serum is complexed with albumin and
reacts very slowly with Diazo reagent and it requires an activator, methanol (alcohol).
Indirect bilirubin is calculated as follows
Concentration of Indirect bilirubin = Total bilirubin - Direct bilirubin
For the estimation of total bilirubin serum is treated with diazo
reagent and methanol.
For the estimation of direct bilirubin serum is treated with only
reagent.
Total bilirubin:
Activator - Methanol
Serum + diazotized sulfanilic acid Azobilirubin
Direct bilirubin:
Serum + diazotized sulfanilic acid Azobilirubin
PROCEDURE
Total Bilirubin
• For Total Bilirubin: Take 2 test tubes and label them as Test (T1) and Blank (T2), add the following
reagents.
S No REAGENT Total Bilirubin
T1 (Test) T2 (blank)
1 Diazo reagent ( Sulfalinilic acid + HCl+
Na2S)
0.5 ml ---
2 Diazo blank (Conc. HCl) --- 0.5 ml
3 Methanol ( Activator) 2.5ml 2.5ml
4 Distilled water 1.8ml 1.8ml
5 Serum 0.2ml 0.2 ml
Mix well and incubate for exactly 5 minutes. Measure the
absorbance of test against respective sample blank at 532 nm .
Direct Bilirubin
• For Direct Bilirubin: Take 2 test tubes and label them as Test (D1) and Blank (D2), add the
following reagents.
S No Reagent Direct Bilirubin
D1 (Test) D2 (blank)
1 Diazo reagent ( Sulfanilic acid + HCl+ Na2S) 0.5 ml ---
2 Diazo blank (Conc. HCl) --- 0.5 ml
3 Methanol ( Activator) --- -
4 Distilled water 4.3ml 4.3ml
5 Serum 0.2 ml 0.2 ml
Mix well and incubate for exactly 5 minutes. Measure the absorbance
of test against respective sample blank at 532 nm .
CALCULATIONS:
• Total Bilirubin = OD of test - OD of sample blank X Factor
• Direct Bilirubin = OD of test - OD of sample blank X Factor
• ( Note: factor will be provided by the kit manufacturer)
• Indirect bilirubin = Total bilirubin - Direct bilirubin
RESULT:
• The amount of total bilirubin in the given serum sample is __________mg/dl
• The amount of direct bilirubin is _________mg/dl
• The amount of indirect bilirubin is __________mg/dl.
NORMAL VALUES:
• Total bilirubin: Adults : up to 1.2 mg/dl
Infants : 0.2- 8 mg/dl
• Direct bilirubin : 0 to 0.2 mg/dl.
• Indirect bilirubin : 0.2 to 0.8 mg/dl
• CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE:
• Causes of Unconjugated Hyperbilirubinemia:
1. Increased production of unconjugated bilirubin from heme
ï‚· Hemolysis
ï‚· Ineffective erythropoiesis
ï‚· Rapid turnover of increased RBC mass
2. Decreased delivery of unconjugated bilirubin to hepatocyte
ï‚· Right sided congenital heart failure
ï‚· Post caval shunt
Causes of Unconjugated Hyperbilirubinemia:
3. Reduced uptake of conjugated bilirubin across hepatocyte membrane
ï‚· Gilbert syndrome
ï‚· Sepsis
4. Reduced storage in cytosol
5. Decreased biotransformation
ï‚· Neonatal jaundice
ï‚· Crigler Najjar syndrome
ï‚· Hepato cellular dysfunction
• Causes of Conjugated Hyperbilirubinemia:
1. Decreased secretion of conjugated bilirubin in to canalicular tract
ï‚· Hepatocellular jaundice
ï‚· Dubin Johnson and Rotor syndrome
ï‚· Drug induced reaction
2. Decreased drainage
ï‚· Extrahepatic obstructive stones, carcinoma, stenosis
ï‚· Sclerosis cholangitis
 Intrahepatic obstruction – granuloma, drugs, primary biliary cirrhosis, tumor.
