Description

The Bilirubin (Total + Direct) test measures both total bilirubin and direct (conjugated) bilirubin levels in the blood. Total bilirubin reflects the overall amount of bilirubin present, including both conjugated and unconjugated forms, while direct bilirubin specifically indicates the portion that has been processed by the liver and is water-soluble. This combined test is essential for assessing liver function, diagnosing liver diseases, and evaluating conditions such as jaundice, hemolytic anemia, or bile duct obstruction. Elevated levels of total or direct bilirubin can suggest various health issues, prompting further investigation and management. A blood sample is required for this test, and results are interpreted alongside clinical findings to provide a comprehensive assessment of bilirubin metabolism and liver health.
