Comparison of the bilirubin concentration and the bilirubin/albumin ration with the bilirubin-binding ability in neonatal serum.
The bilirubin-binding ability of neonatal serum was measured and compared with the serum bilirubin concentration and the serum bilirubin/albumin ratio. The bilirubin/albumin ratio correlated no better with the bilirubin-binding ability than the bilirubin concentration alone.
