A Conjugated (Direct) Bilirubin Test measures the levels of direct bilirubin in your blood. Bilirubin is a yellowish substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. The liver processes bilirubin, converting it into a form that can be excreted through bile. Conjugated bilirubin is the water-soluble form of bilirubin that is processed by the liver.
Why is the Conjugated Bilirubin Test Important?
- Liver Health: Elevated conjugated bilirubin levels can indicate liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.
- Bile Duct Health: Helps detect blockages in the bile ducts, which can lead to jaundice.
- Differentiating Disorders: Assists in distinguishing between different types of jaundice and determining the underlying cause of elevated bilirubin levels.
- Overall Health: Provides critical information for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions affecting the liver and bile ducts.
When Should You Get a Conjugated Bilirubin Test?
- Jaundice Symptoms: If experiencing yellowing of the skin or eyes.
- Liver Disease Symptoms: Symptoms like dark urine, fatigue, abdominal pain, or swelling.
- Bile Duct Obstruction: Signs such as light-colored stools and itching.
