ABSTRACT
Background: This study was designed to compare the study of serum bilirubin and various other Liver related enzymes in different types of Jaundice in patients attending the Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Methods: The study includes total 50 subjects, out of which 20 were controls and 30 were Jaundice cases. Thirty jaundice cases were divided into 10(Pre-Hepatic), 10(Hepatic) & 10(Post-Hepatic) jaundice patients according to inclusion-exclusion criteria. Results: The results of our study show that the levels of Total Bilirubin, Direct Bilirubin & Indirect bilirubin were significantly raised in the Jaundice patients than that of control. This study was found that the other liver enzyme i.e. SGOT, SGPT & ALP were found to be increased than the control. Conclusion: In conclusion, the high serum bilirubin level is a marker of Jaundice. Increased direct bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) specifically points towards obstructive Jaundice, Increased indirect bilirubin level points towards pre-hepatic (Hemolytic) jaundice whereas increased bilirubin (Direct & Indirect) along with SGOT & SGPT levels points towards hepatic jaundice.
