Shop - Bilirubin – Total

The Total Bilirubin test measures the overall level of bilirubin in the blood, which includes both conjugated (direct) and unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin. Bilirubin is a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells and is processed by the liver for excretion. This test is commonly used to assess liver function, diagnose liver diseases, and evaluate conditions such as jaundice, hemolytic anemia, or bile duct obstruction. Elevated total bilirubin levels can indicate various health issues, including liver dysfunction, hemolysis, or obstruction of bile flow. A blood sample is required for this test, and results are often interpreted alongside direct and indirect bilirubin tests to provide a comprehensive view of bilirubin metabolism and liver health.
