When the erythrocytes are destroyed, haemoglobin breaks down, the heme part of it goes through a series of transformation: Heme → biliverdin (green pigment) biliverdin → bilirubin (orange-yellow pigment) Bilirubin + blood albumin → bound bilirubin (in peripheral blood) Bound bilirubin + glucuronic acid → conjugated bilirubin. (in liver) Conjugated bilirubin + intestinal bacteria → several pigments, including - stercobolin (orange-brown pigment, excreted in feces) and - urobilinogen (reabsorbed into bile/blood, finally excreted in urine)
