Test Details

Bilirubin is a product of the breakdown of hemoglobin from old red blood cells. It is transported to the liver, converted into a water-soluble form, and excreted in bile. Total bilirubin testing is used to diagnose and monitor liver diseases, bile duct obstruction, hemolytic anemia, and jaundice. Elevated total bilirubin may indicate liver problems or bile duct obstruction, while low levels are rare and usually clinically insignificant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this test

Bilirubin is a product of the breakdown of old red blood cells and helps the body remove used hemoglobin. After formation, bilirubin is transported to the liver where it is converted into a water-soluble form and then excreted with bile into the intestines, aiding waste elimination and digestion.
High total bilirubin may result from liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, bile duct obstruction, hemolytic anemia where red blood cells break down rapidly, or neonatal jaundice in newborns. Certain medications and alcohol consumption can also increase bilirubin levels.
Low total bilirubin is rare and usually not clinically significant. It may occur in conditions with reduced red blood cell formation or rare genetic disorders affecting bilirubin production.
Associated diseases include liver disorders such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, bile duct obstruction, hemolytic anemia, neonatal jaundice, and sometimes other blood disorders affecting red blood cell breakdown.
Yes, hemolysis or excessive breakdown of red blood cells increases bilirubin production, leading to elevated blood levels.
