Blood Levels
There are no normal levels of bilirubin as it is an excretion product, and levels found in the body reflects the balance between production and excretion. Different sources provide reference ranges that are similar but not identical. Some examples for adults are provided below (different reference ranges are often used for newborns):
| μmol/L | mg/dL | |
| total bilirubin | 5.1–17.0 | 0.2–1.9, 0.3–1.0, 0.1–1.2 |
| direct bilirubin | 1.0–5.1 | 0–0.3, 0.1–0.3, 0.1–0.4 |

Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or levels:
“I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
