Bilirubin does not appear in the urine with hemolysis - that's why it is called acholuric jaundice.Terry Hamblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346629921055055879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19102494.post-11239547522369753572008-01-29T07:44:00.000-07:002008-01-29T07:44:00.000-07:00The other thing that urine dipsticks measure is ur...The other thing that urine dipsticks measure is urine hemoglobin (they're looking for hematuria) and hemoglobin will be in the urine with hemolysis, perhaps even earlier than bilirubin, brcause when hemolysis begins the indirect bilirubin which is not water soluble rises first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19102494.post-51559903900406180702008-01-28T23:19:00.000-07:002008-01-28T23:19:00.000-07:00Thanks Deb, and thanks also to the first commenter...Thanks Deb, and thanks also to the first commenter. Who knew urine dip-sticks existed? (Well, I guess you did.) Now that I know, I'll mention it to Dr. Belle.

If you begin to hemolyze the urine will be positive for bilirubin early on if hemolysis is rapid...the test will be positive before the urine looks abnormal. Judicious use might give you some peace of mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
