Abstract
Determination of serum bilirubin is one of the important liver function tests. Serum bilirubin has been differentially determined by diazo reagent as total bilirubin and direct bilirubin. Recently which involves a covalent bond to albumin has drawn attention because of clinical significance. There is a method to measure delta bilirubin levels in patients with acute liver disease to examine its clinical significance. For the measurement of delta bilirubin at first measure the total bilirubin, direct bilirubin from Vitros 250 Dry chemistry Method. So delta bilirubin correlated with total bilirubin and direct bilirubin. Hence we can conclude from this case study that delta bilirubin might have a significant role in the diagnosis of these three types of jaundice. Although it cannot be measured but can be calculated by Dry chemistry Auto analyzer, probably it may help in the differential diagnosis of different types of jaundice since its found to be highest delta bilirubin Percentage in Obstructive Jaundice.
