Shop - Bilirubin – Direct

Description

Direct Bilirubin, also known as conjugated bilirubin, is a form of bilirubin that has been processed by the liver and is water-soluble. It results from the conjugation of bilirubin with glucuronic acid, making it easier for the body to excrete it in bile. Direct bilirubin levels are measured to assess liver function and to diagnose conditions such as biliary obstruction, hepatitis, and liver cirrhosis. Elevated levels of direct bilirubin in the blood can indicate liver dysfunction or problems with bile flow, while low levels are generally not a cause for concern. Monitoring direct bilirubin levels is essential for understanding and managing various liver and biliary diseases.
