A yellow substance made when old red blood cells break down; the liver removes it through bile. When there is too much, the skin and the whites of the eyes turn yellow (jaundice). The cause can be in the blood, the liver or the bile ducts. Some people have a mild rise from a harmless inherited condition (Gilbert's syndrome). In newborns it is read against the baby's age in hours.
