Bilirubin is a is a product of heme degradation, produced by the reduction of biliverdin and transported to the liver as a complex with serum albumin. The two main types of bilirubin are conjugated and unconjugated, which differ in their solubility and how they are measured: Conjugated bilirubin (also known as direct bilirubin), this is the water-soluble form of bilirubin which has been conjugated with glucoronic acid and is excreted in the bile.Unconjugated bilirubin (also known as indirect bilirubin), this is the water-insoluble form of bilirubin that is bound to albumin in the blood on the way to the liver. It can't normally be measured directly in blood testing, so it's calculated by subtracting the conjugated bilirubin value from the total bilirubin value.This product, FB01720, contains the unconjugated (water insoluble) form of bilirubin only.
