Evaluation of a kinetic method for simultaneous determination of conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin

JB Landis and HL Pardue

This paper describes a fast kinetic method for the simultaneous determination of unconjugated and conjugated bilirugin in the same reaction solution. A stopped-flow mixing system with a stabilized photometer and small computer is used to mix sample and reagent rapidly and to record 250 data points during a 700-ms reaction time, and a regression program is used to resolve these kinetic data into the concentrations of unconjugated and conjugated bilirubin. Data are reported for synthetic single and two-component samples and for serum samples. Kinetic results for synthetic mixtures and serum samples are compared with results obtained by a conventional two-step procedure. Regression equations show good linearity between kinetically determined absorbance changes and concentration, good agreement between taken and found values for total, unconjugated, and conjugated bilirubin for synthetic samples in human serum albumin, and a good correlation between kinetic and equilibrium results for these species in sera. Regression slopes for kinetic vs. equilibrium assay results for total, unconjugated, and conjugated bilirubins in sera were 1.01 +/- 0.05, 1.04 +/- 0.03 and 0.91 +/- 0.04, respectively, with intercepts of 6.6,-- 2.7, and 3.8 micromol/liter, and standard errors of estimate of 28, 14, and 20 micromol/liter. These data reflect uncertainties in both the kinetic and equilibrium methods.
