Abstract excerpt
Ten adult patients with chronic nonhemolytic unconjugated (indirect) hyperbilirubinemia were analyzed by determining bilirubin uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase activity according to a more physiological and sensitive method (9 control cases, 0.457 +/- 0.163 nmole/mg protein/min). There was no overlap of the enzyme activities of 2 cases with Crigler-Najjar syndrome (type II) (0.006 nmole/mg protein/min...
