That sounds a littel high. What are your liver enzyme levels? and are you jaundice?
Um... YES!! The high normal bilirubin level is 1.5
From the glossary of medical terms the answer is: BILIRUBIN
Check the bilirubin level.
well, you see.. jaundice is caused by the elevation of UNCONJUGATED bilirubin level in our blood.. a high level of unconjugated bilirubin in blood will enter our body tissue and make our skin looks yellow.bilirubin is metabolized in the liver, thus making the unconjugated bilirubin changed into conjugated one. and these conjugated bilirubin will be excreted to our intestine and it will give color to our urine an feces.in patients with choledocolithiasis, there is an obstruction caused by the gallstone inside the duct where conjugated bilirubin should be excreted.. this obstruction makes the liver unable to metabolize the unconjugated bilirubin, and so the level of unconjugated bilirubin will rise, having effect of jaundice.

A low bilirubin level may indicate impairment of bilirubin production or an underlying medical condition such as anemia or malnutrition. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

A total bilirubin of 9 is fine. Some hospitals state it should be under 12, some state it should be under 17. Bilirubin blood test levels are one of those things where "lower is better". (Bilirubin is a byproduct which you liver is supposed to excrete in bile, which is then excreted via your digestive system. If your liver is not excreting bilirubin in bile, your blood bilirubin level increases, showing that your liver isn't quite right.)
The color of Bilirubin is orange Bilirubin is an orange color pigment in the bile
jaundice the normal serum bilirubin level is 0.5 to 1.5mg%. jaundice occurs when the bilirubin level exceeds 2mg%. the increased blood level of bilirubin is called hyperbilirubinemia. excess bilirubin from blood diffuses into the tissues, skin and mucous membrane, colouring them yellow. this condition caused by overflow of bilirubin is called jaundice.
Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells, and its accumulation in the bloodstream is what causes jaundice. The severity of jaundice is directly related to the level of bilirubin; higher bilirubin levels typically result in more pronounced yellowing of the skin and eyes. Jaundice occurs when bilirubin levels exceed the normal range, indicating potential liver dysfunction, hemolysis, or bile duct obstruction. Monitoring bilirubin levels is essential for diagnosing and managing the underlying causes of jaundice.
Yes, a bilirubin level of 19.34 mg/dL in newborns is considered high and may indicate a critical stage of jaundice. High levels of bilirubin can lead to a condition called hyperbilirubinemia, which can be dangerous if left untreated. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
