Several methods for determination of total bilirubin and its fractions have been critically discussed. Methods for serum determinations are summarized in Table 1. Because results of direct bilirubin cannot necessarily be equated with conjugated bilirubin, care must be taken in interpreting results from different laboratories, and clinicians are encouraged to become familiar with methods in use at their own institutions. Despite problems reported in the literature, bilirubin determinations, together with a reference range established for one's own patient population, should provide valuable information for patient management.
已经对几种测定总胆红素及其组分的方法进行了批判性讨论。血清测定方法总结于表1中。由于直接胆红素的结果不一定等同于结合胆红素，因此在解释不同实验室的结果时必须谨慎，并且鼓励临床医生熟悉其所在机构所使用的方法。尽管文献中报道了一些问题，但胆红素测定以及为自身患者群体建立的参考范围，应为患者管理提供有价值的信息。
