What is Understanding Bilirubin: Functions & Metabolism about?

Bilirubin is a yellow breakdown product of heme catabolism and is responsible for the yellow color of bruises, urine, feces, and jaundice. It consists of an open chain of four pyrrole-like rings, similar to pigments used by plants and algae. Bilirubin is produced from the breakdown of hemoglobin in red blood cells and is excreted in bile and urine. Elevated bilirubin levels may indicate disease.
