|
| 3. | This constitutes the normal " enterohepatic urobilinogen cycle ".
|
| 4. | Any deterioration in liver function reduces its ability to process the recirculated urobilinogen.
|
| 5. | Intestinal bacteria convert the bilirubin into urobilinogen.
|
| 6. | From here urobilinogen can take two pathways.
|
| 7. | Increased amounts of bilirubin are formed in hemolysis, which generates increased urobilinogen in the gut.
|
| 8. | The degree of color change is proportional to the amount of urobilinogen in the urine sample.
|
| 9. | Formed an unconjugated bilirubin entering the intestine, gives a large number of stercobilinogen ( urobilinogen ).
|
| 10. | In biliary obstruction, below-normal amounts of conjugated bilirubin reach the intestine for conversion to urobilinogen.
