    What Is a Total Bilirubin Test?

    The Total Bilirubin test measures the level of bilirubin, a yellowish pigment formed during the natural breakdown of red blood cells (RBCs), in the blood. Bilirubin is processed by the liver and excreted in bile, which helps in digestion.

    Normally, a healthy liver removes most of the bilirubin from the body. If liver function is impaired or there’s an obstruction in bile flow, bilirubin can build up in the bloodstream, leading to jaundice—a yellowing of the skin and eyes.

    This test is helpful in evaluating liver function and diagnosing conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, bile duct obstruction, and hemolytic anemia.

    Normal Ranges:

    • Total Bilirubin : 0.2–1.3 mg/dL

    • Direct Bilirubin : 0.1–0.3 mg/dL

    • Indirect Bilirubin : 0.2–0.7 mg/dL

    Interpretation :

    Elevated levels may suggest liver disease, bile duct blockage, or excessive red blood cell breakdown

    Very high levels in newborns may cause kernicterus, a rare but serious condition Trace bilirubin in urine may indicate abnormal liver function
