Increased Serum Conjugated Bilirubin in Hemolytic Anemia

Abstract

Rarely is conjugated hyperbilirubinemia associated with hemolytic anemia. This article describes three patients with hemolytic anemia (two autoimmune acquired and one congenital spherocytic) in whom an increase in the conjugated bilirubin fraction occurred. The increase subsided after amelioration or control of the hemolytic process.
