A bilirubin test measures the levels of bilirubin in your blood. Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment that is made during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin passes through the liver and is eventually excreted out of the body.

About Bilirubin – Total, Direct & Indirect Test
The total bilirubin levels are a combination of the direct and indirect bilirubin levels. Total is the sum of Direct and Indirect Bilirubin. Bilirubin – Total, Direct & Indirect Test measures all three blood bilirubin levels. Bilirubin is a yellow-colored compound that is formed as a normal breakdown product of the red blood cells. Bilirubin is metabolized in the liver,making it easier to be excreted in the bile.
Doctors use the three measurements to see if the increase in bilirubin comes from liver disease, a blockage in the bile duct, too much red blood cell breakdown, or other medical conditions. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy utilize advanced Clinical Chemistry analysers that offer accurate and reliable Liver function tests.
What is a Bilirubin – Total, Direct & Indirect Test?
A Bilirubin – Total, Direct & Indirect Test is a simple blood test that is often ordered in a Liver Function Test (LFT). It is useful for the diagnosis of liver problems, for determining the level of liver damage, for diagnosis of jaundice and, in certain cases, for the investigation of problems with bilirubin metabolism. This test may also be used to follow up treatment for patients with liver disorders.
Common Reasons for a Bilirubin Test
Yellow discoloration of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
Evaluation of liver function
Suspected hepatitis
Investigation of gallbladder or bile duct disorders
Assessment of hemolytic anemia
Monitoring chronic liver disease
Evaluation of newborn jaundice
Follow-up of abnormal liver function tests
Conditions Evaluated
Jaundice
Helps determine the cause and severity of jaundice by measuring bilirubin levels.
Liver Diseases
Supports the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and other liver disorders.
Bile Duct Obstruction
Helps identify blockage of the bile ducts caused by gallstones, tumors, or inflammation.
Hemolytic Anemia
Assesses increased destruction of red blood cells leading to elevated indirect bilirubin.
Gallbladder Disorders
Evaluates conditions affecting bile production and drainage.
Newborn Hyperbilirubinemia
Helps diagnose and monitor elevated bilirubin levels in newborns.

बिलिरुबिन – टोटल, डायरेक्ट एवं इनडायरेक्ट टेस्ट के लिए सामान्यतः फास्टिंग की आवश्यकता नहीं होती। यदि यह जांच अन्य रक्त परीक्षणों के साथ की जा रही है, तो डॉक्टर 4–8 घंटे के उपवास की सलाह दे सकते हैं।
यदि आप कोई दवा, हर्बल सप्लीमेंट या विटामिन ले रहे हैं, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर या लैब स्टाफ को अवश्य दें, क्योंकि कुछ दवाएं बिलिरुबिन स्तर या लिवर की कार्यक्षमता को प्रभावित कर सकती हैं।
जांच से 24 घंटे पहले शराब का सेवन करने से बचें, जब तक कि डॉक्टर अन्य निर्देश न दें।
यदि आपको लिवर रोग, हेपेटाइटिस, पित्ताशय (गॉलब्लैडर) की बीमारी, हीमोलिटिक एनीमिया या हाल ही में रक्त चढ़ाया गया हो, तो इसकी जानकारी जांच से पहले अवश्य दें।
यदि फास्टिंग की आवश्यकता न हो, तो रक्त नमूना देने से पहले पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएं।
ऐसे आरामदायक कपड़े पहनकर आएं जिनकी आस्तीनें आसानी से ऊपर की जा सकें।
पंजीकरण और रक्त नमूना संग्रह के लिए निर्धारित समय से 10–15 मिनट पहले जांच केंद्र पर पहुंचें।
A laboratory professional will clean the skin over a vein in your arm using an antiseptic solution.
A small blood sample will be collected from a vein using a sterile needle.
The blood sample is analyzed using advanced clinical chemistry analyzers to measure Total Bilirubin, Direct (Conjugated) Bilirubin, and Indirect (Unconjugated) Bilirubin.
The sample collection procedure usually takes only a few minutes.
You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after the blood sample is collected unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Your doctor will interpret the results along with your Liver Function Test (LFT), liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP), and other clinical findings to determine the underlying cause of abnormal bilirubin levels.
Reports are generally available within 24 hours.
