Bilirubin (BR) (from the Latin for "red bile") is a red-orange compound that occurs in the normal catabolic pathway that breaks down heme in vertebrates.This catabolism is a necessary process in the body's clearance of waste products that arise from the destruction of aged or abnormal red blood cells.

The Haffkine Institute for Training, Research and Testing is located in Parel in Mumbai (Bombay), India. It was established on 10 August 1899 by Dr. Waldemar Mordechai Haffkine, as a bacteriology research centre called the "Plague Research Laboratory". [1] It now offers various basic and applied bio-medical science services.

Serum tests evaluate plasma bilirubin, haemolysis and liver function and are essential for definitive diagnosis. When total serum bilirubin exceeds 2.5 mg/dL and unconjugated bilirubin occupies >85% of total amount, it is classified as unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. [6]
Metropolis Healthcare, also known as Metropolis Labs, is an Indian multinational chain of diagnostic labs, with its central laboratory in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Metropolis Healthcare has a chain of 124 clinical laboratories [4] and 2400 collection centers across 7 countries including India. [5] The healthcare company was founded in 1980.
Various mutations of enzymes in the liver cells, which breakdown bilirubin, cause varying elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. [2] These disorders may cause yellowing of the skin and eyes, called jaundice. [3] The prevalence of hereditary hyperbilirubinemia varies based on each disease.
Bilirubin is a pigment that results from the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin. The liver conjugates bilirubin, making it water-soluble; and the conjugated form is then excreted in urine as urobilinogen and in the feces as stercobilinogen.
Azobilirubin is a coloured compound formed by the condensation of diazotized sulfanilic acid with bilirubin in the van den Bergh reaction. [1] The quantity of bilirubin in patients with jaundice can be determined by the formation of azobilirubin in the presence of methanol.
