Abstract
The present invention provides a bilirubin reducing means which can minimize a risk such as the onset of an infection or the occurrence of blood coagulation and can reduce physical, temporal and economical burdens imposed on a patient suffering from liver dysfunction. A bilirubin denaturating apparatus includes a dialyzing portion which has a dialyzing column for performing dialysis of blood using hollow fibers incorporated therein; an infusion supply portion which supplies an infusion used for dialysis in the dialyzing portion to the dialyzing portion; and a blood circulating portion which feeds blood to the dialyzing portion and returns the blood dialyzed by the dialyzing portion, wherein the dialyzing portion includes a radiation means which radiates green light to the hollow fibers, and the radiation means radiates the green light to the hollow fibers for converting fat-soluble bilirubin in the blood flowing in the inside of the hollow fibers into water-soluble bilirubin thus eluting the water-soluble bilirubin in the infusion.
