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.
