Bilirubin Metabolism and Jaundice

in this episode, Dr Mike and Dr Matt explore how our body deals with old or damaged red blood cells. They walk through the metabolism of bilirubin (a toxic breakdown product of red blood cells) and discuss what happens if this bilirubin isn't removed from the body or accumulates - resulting in a yellow discolouration of the skin, called Jaundice.*This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.Want ad free listening and early access?Become a member! https://drmattdrmike.supercast.com/Click Here: NEWSLETTER SIGN-UPWant to send us a question or topic?
