bilirubin

bilirubin

The yellow-red pigment of human bile. Small amounts of it are normally found in blood and urine. At high bilirubin levels, blood and urine change color and the skin becomes yellow or jaundiced. This is one of the symptoms of mismatched blood transfusions and mother-fetus incompatibility in blood type.
