      A raised unconjugated serum bilirubin can be due to bilirubin overproduction (i.e. haemolysis), impaired bilirubin uptake or conjugation in the liver (i.e. due to drugs, Gilbert’s syndrome or Crigler-Najjar syndrome). Causes of an elevated conjugated bilirubin include reduced excretion into the biliary system or hepatocyte leakage into serum.
