title: [Binding capacity of albumin: comparison of the chromatographic method and electrophoretic method].
abstract: In the present study we intended to prove the reliability of the electrophoretic method proposed by Athanassiadis et al. [2] for the detection of the bilirubin binding capacity in the sera of icteric newborns, comparing it with the chromatographic method. 35 sera, in which the value of the bilirubin was included between 5 and 20 mg/dl, with a distribution of values of bilirubin binding capacity between 0 and 16 mg/dl, had been examined. The results obtained proved a perfect agreement between these two methods: the Authors prefer the electrophretic method, because it consents a more exact estimation of the bilirubin binding capacity of the serum.
