As the liver becomes increasingly damaged, total bilirubin increases. Most of total bilirubin metabolized, and this section referred to as the direct bilirubin. When the sections are increased, the cause is usually outside the liver. If direct bilirubin is low while high total bilirubin, this indicates damage to the liver or bile duct in the liver. Bilirubin contain dyes that give color to the dirt. If the level is very high, the skin and eyes may be yellow , resulting in symptoms of jaundice. Severe neonatal jaundice and is not administered properly can cause complications bilirubin encephalopathy. This occurs due to the binding of bilirubin acid free with a cell wall lipids neurons in the basal ganglia, brain stem and cerebellum which leads to cell death. In infants with sepsis , hypoxia and asphyxia can cause damage to the blood-brai

Oxygen present in normal air and is very important for livelihoods and burning. Humans can breathe and work well if the air contains about 21% oxygen. In air containing 17 % oxygen, humans will breathe deeper and faster. Symptoms or due to decreased oxygen levels at 15 % is feeling uncertain, sometimes ears feel like ringing, dizziness and palpitations. The symptoms are more felt heavy with decreasing oxygen levels up to 10 %. In general, humans not to fall unconscious to the oxygen content of 13%.
