Unconjugated bilirubin and its mono-and diester conjugates were measured by alkaline methanolysis and normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (AMHPLC) in 195 serum specimens obtained from 63 patients with various hepatobiliary disorders and from 47 healthy adult controls. With this assay, esterified bilirubins were undetectable in the controls, and detection of esterified pigment in a sample was interpreted as an abnormal result. Using this criterion, the
