Disclosed is a process for measuring an amount of all bilirubins in a specimen, comprising deconjugating conjugated bilirubins with a reagent comprising an enzyme capable of deconjugation to form the unconjugated bilirubin, and determining an amount of the unconjugated bilirubin in the specimen, and a reagent therefor. The present invention also provides a process for measuring an amount of the unconjugated bilirubin in a specimen, comprising oxidizing and eliminating conjugated bilirubins in the specimen with an oxidizing agent capable of oxidizing bilirubins, in the presence of a metal ion forming a complex with the bilirubins and a surfactant at pH 6.5 or less, and determining an amount of the unconjugated bilirubin in the specimen, and a reagent therefor.
