bilirubin

In biochemistry terms the difference between biliverdin and bilirubin

is that biliverdin is a green tetrapyrrolic bile pigment, a product of heme catabolism, responsible for the yellowish colour in bruises while bilirubin is a bile pigment that is product of the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin (which occurs within macrophages as they digest red blood cells), extremely high levels of which cause jaundice.

In biochemistry terms the difference between bilirubin and stercobilin

is that bilirubin is a bile pigment that is product of the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin (which occurs within macrophages as they digest red blood cells), extremely high levels of which cause jaundice while stercobilin is a tetrapyrrolic bile pigment, one of the end products of heme catabolism, responsible for the brown colour of human faeces.

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and bilirubin

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while bilirubin is (biochemistry) a bile pigment that is product of the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin (which occurs within macrophages as they digest red blood cells), extremely high levels of which cause jaundice.

In biochemistry terms the difference between bilirubin and urobilinogen

is that bilirubin is a bile pigment that is product of the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin (which occurs within macrophages as they digest red blood cells), extremely high levels of which cause jaundice while urobilinogen is a colourless product of bilirubin reduction, formed in the intestines by bacterial action.

As nouns the difference between bilirubin and hematoidin

is that bilirubin is a bile pigment that is product of the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin (which occurs within macrophages as they digest red blood cells), extremely high levels of which cause jaundice while hematoidin is bilirubin.

As nouns the difference between bilirubin and bilirubinemia

is that bilirubin is a bile pigment that is product of the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin (which occurs within macrophages as they digest red blood cells), extremely high levels of which cause jaundice while bilirubinemia is the presence of bilirubin in the blood.

As nouns the difference between bilirubin and kernicterus

is that bilirubin is (biochemistry) a bile pigment that is product of the breakdown of the heme portion of hemoglobin (which occurs within macrophages as they digest red blood cells), extremely high levels of which cause jaundice while kernicterus is (medicine) damage to the brain centres of infants caused by increased levels of unconjugated-indirect bilirubin which is free (not bound to albumin).
