Total Bilirubin Analysis

Total bilirubin is a blood test that measures the total amount of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow compound that occurs because of the normal breakdown of red blood cells. It is processed by the liver, which then excretes it in bile. Monitoring bilirubin levels is crucial for assessing liver function and diagnosing conditions like jaundice, liver diseases, and bile duct obstructions.


Reference Range:

  • Normal Range: 0.3 to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).

Treatment for abnormal bilirubin levels varies based on the underlying cause; managing liver disease may involve medication, lifestyle adjustments, or surgery, while excessive red blood cell breakdown requires managing anemia or related conditions. Surgical or endoscopic interventions are used to address blockages in the bile duct. Total Bilirubin Analysis is essential for evaluating liver function and diagnosing conditions that impact bilirubin processing, with regular monitoring critical for detecting and managing jaundice, liver disorders, and bile duct issues, ensuring treatments are adjusted according to individual health profiles and medical history.
