RESUMO
The determination of serum bilirubin by quick method is useful in estimating the bilirubin value in neonatal jaundice and hepatic coma in case of sudden treatment. A study by quick method in 143 patients gives good correlation to Malloy – evelyn method in which r = 0.82, p < 0.001. The coefficient of variation in variation in this study is 1.77 to 8.07, which is an acceptable coefficient of variation. The quick method is also easy, convenient, using instruments available in most laboratories. So, it should be the method for estimation the bilirubin value in case of emergencies.
