title: [Determination of bilirubin in the amniotic fluid by means of the chloroform-extraction method].
abstract: A reproducible method for the determination of bilirubin in amniotic fluid by measuring the extinction of the the chloroform extract is described. The measurements can be carried out by means of a simple spectrophotometer. In case of extraction of amniotic fluid containing blood informative results are obtained as well. Since the extinction values are equal to the deltaE-values it is possible to determine the degree of morbus haemolyticus fetalis using the schema of Liley.
