Hyperbilirubinemia3
- Hyperbilirubinemia is a condition in which bilirubin levels in the blood are elevated and the newborn becomes jaundiced. (newswise.com)

- Kernicterus is brain damage caused by unconjugated bilirubin deposition in basal ganglia and brain stem nuclei, caused by either acute or chronic hyperbilirubinemia. (merckmanuals.com)
TBIL3
- X-tile software was used to identify optimal cutoff values for separating training cohort patients into higher and lower overall survival (OS) groups, based on total bilirubin (TBIL) and albumin levels. (oncotarget.com)
- After adjusting for tumor grade and TNM stage, TBIL and albumin levels were still clearly associated with OS. (oncotarget.com)
- These results suggest that serum TBIL and albumin levels are independent predictors of OS in gastric cancer patients, and that an index that combines TBIL and albumin levels with the TNM staging system might have more predictive value than any of these measures alone. (oncotarget.com)
Serum levels2
- Platelet counts and serum levels of total bilirubin, as well as neutrophil counts, improved significantly one month after treatment. (hindawi.com)
- However, serum levels of albumin and hemoglobin decreased significantly one month after treatment. (hindawi.com)
Liver Function1
- ALT and AST are markers of hepatocellular damage, ALP and GGT are markers of cholestasis, PT and albumin are indicators of synthetic function, and bilirubin is a nonspecific marker of liver function. (arupconsult.com)
