Substance formed when red blood cells are broken down. Bilirubin is part of the bile, which is made in the liver and is stored in the gallbladder. The abnormal buildup of bilirubin causes jaundice.

"reddish pigment found in bile," 1871, from German bilirubin (1864), from bili- (see bile) + Latin ruber "red" (see red (1)) + -ine (2).

A yellow pigment occurring in liver bile, blood, and urine. Its measurement can be used as an indication of the health of the liver. Bilirubin is the product of the breakdown of red blood cells. An el [..]

A metabollic waste product derived from the breakdown of heme (as from hemoglobin). Excreted from the body in bile.

(bil´´u1-roo´bin) Bile pigment derived from the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin. bipennate

A breakdown product of the heme group of hemoglobin, excreted in the bile. bill

n. a yellowish-red to yellowish-brown pigment found in bile. It is produced when old red blood cells are broken down in the liver. Normally, the human body produces and then excretes about 0.25 grams [..]

The orange coloured bile produced from the breaking down of red blood cells.

when the hemoglobin in a person's blood breaks down, causing a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. It is a temporary condition in newborn infants.

(n) an orange-yellow pigment in the bile that forms as a product of hemoglobin; excess amounts in the blood produce the yellow appearance observed in jaundice

  A yellow bile pigment; excess of which causes jaundice

Bilirubin is a substance formed when hemoglobin breaks down. A bilirubin test measures the amount of bilirubin in the blood.

The yellow-red pigment of human bile.  Small amounts of it are normally found in Blood and urine.  At high bilirubin levels, Blood and urine change color and the skin becomes yellow or jaundiced.  Thi [..]

A yellow pigment in the blood that gives a yellow colouring to the skin. High levels can be dangerous.

Substance formed when red blood cells are broken down. Bilirubin is part of the bile, which is made in the liver and is stored in the gallbladder. The abnormal buildup of bilirubin causes jaundice.

Bilirubin refers to the breakdown product of haemoglobin. Excess bilirubin is associated with jaundice.

 A yellowish waste product formed when red blood cells break down. 

A Bile Pigment that is a degradation product of Heme.

A reddish-yellow substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin is normally processed through the liver and eventually excreted from the body. Excess bilirubin in the blood may indicate liver damage or disease. See Related Term(s): Jaundice, Liver, Liver Function Test

A bile pigment that is a degradation product of HEME.

Substance formed when red blood cells are broken down. Bilirubin is part of the bile, which is made in the liver and is stored in the gallbladder. The abnormal buildup of bilirubin causes jaundice.

an orange-yellow pigment in the bile that forms when red blood cells break down; excess amounts in the blood produce the yellow appearance observed in jaundice

A brownish yellow substance; the breakdown product of the hemoglobin molecule of red blood cells.  

  A yellowish pigment released when red blood cells are broken down. Normally, bilirubin is processed and excreted by the liver. Hyperbilirubinemia (an excess level of bilirubin in the blood) indicates liver damage and can lead to jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), pale-colored stools and dark urine.

The orange-yellow pigment of bile, the green fluid that aids in digestion and that is secreted by the liver. Bilirubin is formed mainly by hemoglobin breakdown at the end of red cell life and eventual [..]

a yellow substance formed when red blood cells age and break down. The liver normally breaks down bilirubin for excretion. However, if the liver is not functioning properly bilirubin may accumulate in the blood stream causing jaundice.

A red pigment occurring in liver bile, blood, and urine. Its measurement can be used as an indication of the health of the liver. An elevated level of bilirubin in blood serum is an indication of live [..]

  A brown pigment (like a dye) that makes your bile and your stool (bowel movements) brown.  Bilirubin comes from old red blood cells that have died.  It is changed in the liver into a form that colors bile and makes stool brown.  When the liver doesn't work the bilirubin is not changed into this form, so the bile and the stool may be pale.  T [..]

A pigment produced when the liver processes waste products. A high bilirubin level causes yellowing of the skin.
