A Total Bilirubin Test measures the total amount of bilirubin in your blood, including both unconjugated (indirect) and conjugated (direct) bilirubin. Bilirubin is a yellowish substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. The liver processes bilirubin to be excreted in bile.
Why is the Total Bilirubin Test Important?
- Liver Health: Elevated 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.
- Hemolytic Anemia: Identifies conditions where red blood cells are destroyed faster than they are made.
- Overall Health: Provides crucial information for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions affecting the liver and blood.
When Should You Get a Total Bilirubin Test?
- Jaundice Symptoms: If experiencing yellowing of the skin or eyes.
- Liver Disease Symptoms: Symptoms like dark urine, fatigue, abdominal pain, or swelling.
- Hemolytic Anemia Symptoms: Signs such as fatigue, weakness, or shortness of breath.
- Monitoring Existing Conditions: For ongoing management of known liver or blood disorders.
- Routine Health Check: As part of a liver function test or comprehensive metabolic panel.
