Bilirubin (Direct/Indirect)
The Bilirubin (Direct/Indirect) test measures the levels of bilirubin in your blood, an important component for diagnosing liver and red blood cell disorders. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment formed when red blood cells are broken down. High bilirubin levels can indicate liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or jaundice, or disorders related to the breakdown of red blood cells.

Why is this Test Important?
Bilirubin levels help evaluate liver health, as the liver processes and removes excess bilirubin from the bloodstream.
High levels of bilirubin in the blood may indicate jaundice, a condition where the skin and eyes turn yellow.
Elevated indirect bilirubin levels can suggest conditions where red blood cells are being destroyed too quickly.
This test is essential for monitoring the progression of liver conditions like cirrhosis, hepatitis, and bile duct obstruction.
