Pediatrics international : official journal of the Japan Pediatric Society. 2019 Apr;61(4)364-368.
Hepatocellular injury including multinuclear changes are common histological features in biliary atresia (BA), as well as in neonatal hepatitis. To date, however, no reports have examined how those findings correlate with the prognosis of BA. We clarified the clinical implications of hepatitis-relat

Nagae M, Egi M, Kubota K, Makino S, Mizobuchi S.
Korean journal of anesthesiology. 2018 Feb;71(1)30-36.
Hyperbilirubinemia is a common postoperative complication. Elevated direct bilirubin (D-Bil) and indirect bilirubin (I-Bil) levels are related to different pathophysiologies; therefore, their associations with outcomes also differ. However, there have been few comparative studies of such association

Inverse Relationship Between Serum Bilirubin Levels and Diabetic Foot in Chinese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Chen J, Wang J, Zhang X, Zhu H.
Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research. 2017 Dec;23()5916-5923.
BACKGROUND Several studies demonstrated that bilirubin, a potent endogenous antioxidant, is a strong protective factor for many diabetic complications such as nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and vasculopathy. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between serum bilirubin level
