Medical Conditions - Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a yellow substance present in the blood, and it is formed after the breakdown of red blood cells. After that, it travels to the liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract before excretion. The normal bilirubin ranges from 0.3 to 1.2 mg/dL. It serves as an antioxidant and helps in the excretion of waste products produced from the destruction of abnormal red blood cells.
