Bilirubin, (Total,Direct,Indirect)

Description

This comprehensive bilirubin test measures three types of bilirubin in the blood: total, direct (conjugated), and indirect (unconjugated). Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. Abnormal levels can indicate various liver diseases, bile duct obstructions, or blood disorders. The test is crucial in diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as jaundice, hepatitis, and hemolytic anemia. The breakdown of results helps differentiate between various causes of hyperbilirubinemia.
