| 11. | Exchange transfusions performed to lower high bilirubin levels are an aggressive treatment.

|
| 13. | Bilirubin is a waste product of the breakdown of hemoglobin.
|
| 14. | :The color is mostly due to bilirubin and biliverdin.
|
| 15. | The hemoglobin is metabolized to bilirubin ( causing jaundice ).
