Wrong Robin

You must not be keeping up with the thread and you certainly must NOT have had any kids.
From Message 4968941

<<DIRECT is the same as CONJUGATED and INDIRECT is the same as UNCONJUGATED>>

Again from Message 4821970 :

6. CCSI's Colormate like other colorimeters, can only be used to estimate the total amount of bilirubin in the blood. It does not estimate indirect or direct bilirubin levels which are necessary and are commonly provided by blood tests.

Dr. Maisels' response is: "This statement is partly false and certainly misleading. It is true that this instrument provides an estimate of the total bilirubin. In the overwhelming majority of babies in the newborn nursery and those followed after discharge from the hospital, measurements of direct bilirubin levels are unnecessary.

All of the current recommendations for management and treatment of jaundiced infants (including the use of phototherapy or exchange transfusion) are based on total bilirubin levels and not indirect bilirubin levels.

Measurements of direct bilirubin levels are only needed when there is a suspicion of cholestatic (obstructive) jaundice and are of no relevance until the baby is at least 2-3 weeks old."(4)
