What is Heme Degradation and Bilirubin Metabolism about?
Heme is degraded from red blood cells and broken down into bilirubin, iron, and other compounds. Bilirubin is conjugated in the liver and excreted into bile or blood. Elevated bilirubin levels can cause jaundice and neurological issues. Disorders of bilirubin metabolism may result in unconjugated or conjugated hyperbilirubinemia from issues with production, conjugation, or excretion of bilirubin. Clinical signs depend on the type and include jaundice, dark or pale stool, and elevated bilirubin levels.
