  1. 2. Conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin.

    *Elevated serum indirect bilirubin with normal reticulocyte count and negative Coomb's test is associated with physiologic, breast milk jaundice, or familial nonhemolytic jaundice.

    *Elevated serum indirect bilirubin with increased reticulocyte count is indicative of increased hemolysis seen with ABO/Rh incompatibility and red blood cell abnormalities.

    *Elevation of both direct and indirect bilirubin with a negative Coomb's test and normal reticulocyte count is indicative of hepatitis, metabolic or obstructive disorders, or sepsis.
