For a stay longer than 180 days, the flat-rate per diem is 55 percent. Rates are fixed, and partly based on the cost of living in a location. Johnson said the changes are meant to give long-term TDY travelers an incentive to seek out extended-stay lodgings, which generally are less expensive.
Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that causes jaundice and dark yellow colored urine when present in increased amounts. Some people normally have higher bilirubin in their blood. This is known as Gilbert's disease. So their urine will naturally have more bilirubin.
Bilirubin that is bound to a certain protein is called unconjugated, or indirect, bilirubin. Conjugated, or direct, bilirubin travels freely through your bloodstream to your liver. Most of this bilirubin passes into the small intestine, but a very small amount passes into your kidneys and is excreted in your urine. This bilirubin also gives urine its distinctive yellow color. This test is usually done to look for liver problems, such as hepatitis, or blockages, such as gallstones.
