The novobiocin and luminal test application increases the possibilities to differentiate premicrosome from postmicrosome jaundice and extends the knowledge on hyperbilirubinemia pathobiochemistry. Novobiocin (an antibiotic) inhibits the conjugation and glucuronidizing of bile pigments. Accordingly,
A case of novobiocin-induced jaundice is described in which the main feature was elevated unconjugated bilirubin in the serum. No evidence of hemolysis or hepato-cellular failure was demonstrated.The effect of novobiocin on serum bilirubin was studied by administering 2 g. of the drug daily in four
Reduction in caloric intake was associated with a greater absolute rise in the serum bilirubin concentration in patients with Gilbert's syndrome and partial hepatic bilirubin uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase (UDPG-T) dysfunction compared to patients with hemolytic unconjugated
A discussion is made of the basic peculiarties and differences in the clinico-laboratory profile in various forms of pre- and postmicrosome jaundice. The importance of direct to total bilirubin ratio, and of quantitative bilirubin and urobilinogen bodies' determination in the urine is stressed. Bile
