unconjugated bilirubin
Explanation:
Based on Liz's find, I think it must be bilirubine non-conjuguée:

"La bilirubine non conjuguée (libre ou indirecte) est transportée par l'albumine jusqu'au foie où elle est conjuguée, principalement à l'acide glucuronique. La bilirubine conjuguée est alors sécrétée dans les canalicules biliaires, puis atteint l'intestin grêle.

La bilirubine présente physiologiquement dans le plasma est majoritairement non conjuguée."

Dorlands: "unconjugated bilirubin
the lipid-soluble form of bilirubin that circulates in loose association with the plasma proteins; called also indirect b."
