Abstract
The article by Tsai et al. in Annals describes a significant inverse association between total serum bilirubin and total white (blood) cell count (WCC) in a cohort of healthy Taiwanese adults. This relationship was detected in cross-sectional data for cases with total serum bilirubin within the reference interval and total WCC less than 15 × 109/L. We have investigated similar relationships in two distinct cohorts of Australian patients who had routine pathology conducted via Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology (Taringa, Queensland), including assessments of inflammatory markers.
