Bilirubin is an important chemical that is responsible for the breakdown of red blood cells in the body. It further breaks down and is responsible for the yellow color (notice the american spelling) in bruises, the brown color in feces and the amber color in urine.
doesn't it also have to do with babies who are jaundice?
ReplyDeleteYes mom, I'm impressed. It is caused because the body can not break down the bilirubin and that is why your body turn yellow. Babies are more likely to get it because initially babies have a higher concentration of bilirubin.
