The stone may consist of bile pigments or calcium and cholesterol salts.

Jaundice is a yellowing of the eyes and skin due to bile pigments in the blood.

This condition is caused by an excess buildup of the bile pigment biliverdin.

Yellowing of the skin due to bile pigment (jaundice).

Bile pigments are the breakdown products of heme.

Gallstones are stone-like objects composed of cholesterol, bile pigments and calcium.

Most cholesterol stones contain a pigmented nucleus, different in composition from bile pigments.

Inflammation of the liver can cause the eyes and skin to turn yellow from a buildup of bile pigments.

Besides his studies in haemophilia, Addis made many contributions to the understanding of bile pigment metabolism.

Current research has suggested that the anti-oxidant properties of biliverdin and other bile pigments may also have a beneficial effect on asthma.

Formation of bile pigments.

The yellowing is a result of a buildup of bile pigments in the blood that follows the liver damage from the hepatitis.

"Those are bile pigments."

Biliverdin is a green tetrapyrrolic bile pigment, and is a product of heme catabolism.

Other common constituents are calcium carbonate, palmitate phosphate, bilirubin, and other bile pigments.

The yellow colour of the skin and mucous membranes happens because of an increase in the bile pigment, bilirubin, in the blood.

Most of the above-described syntheses have application in the synthesis of porphyrins, bile pigments, and dipyrrins.

In the presence of bile, the characteristic bile pigment colours appear (a yellow spot with rings of red, violet, blue and green around it).

Bilins, bilanes or bile pigments are biological pigments formed in many organisms as a metabolic product of certain porphyrins.

Bile pigments such as biliverdin naturally possess significant anti-mutagenic and antioxidant properties and therefore fulfill a useful physiological function.

Red blood cells, white cells, granular bile pigment, and benign ductal epithelial cells were a common finding and are shown in Figure 1.

Bilirubin is an orange-yellow bile pigment that is a byproduct of the natural breakdown of hemoglobin in red blood cells (hemolysis).
