The bile is a fluid made by the body.It is part of the bile that is needed for the metabolism of fat.When red blood cells become old and damaged, bilirubin is produced in the body.The bile goes into the small intestine from the bile in the blood.
The water-soluble form can be passed out in the urine.It circulates in the blood in both direct and indirect forms.The unconjugated form of bilirubin is not dissolved in water.It travels through the bloodstream to the liver.
Direct bilirubin can be found in water.The total and direct bilirubin levels can be measured from the blood.There is a small amount of bilirubin in the blood.
A test to measure the amount of bilirubin in your body is done.If there is higher than normal levels of bilirubin in the body, it could be a sign of a problem with the bile duct.
High bilirubin causes red blood cells to break down faster than normal.The doctors and medical practitioners order the test to make a conclusive diagnosis.
It is done to check for any kind of abnormality in the body.The test is prescribed if the patient has visible symptoms, such as a yellow skin and eyes, or if they have acute abdominal pain.The symptoms are caused by an increase in the bilirubin level.
A follow-up treatment for a prior treatment is carried out to check for the progression of other liver diseases.
The TBIL test requires the lab technician to draw blood from your arm with a small needle.
The sample blood is sent to the lab for further analysis.The sample blood is usually taken by breaking the skin of the heels.The newborn's veins are small and can be damaged.

Those under 18 tbil of 1mg/dl are considered normal.The direct normal value should be less than that of the indirect.
The doctor might prescribe more than one test for a clearer picture.
There isn't usually a presence of bilirubin in urine.It is possible to find an underlying pathological condition in the urine.The test kit is available at the pharmacy.
The results of the test at home are based on the reaction of bilirubin with diazonium salt.The strips should not be used for home treatment.Further investigation is required if there are any positive signs of bilirubin.
A reference range is a set of values that a healthcare professional can use to interpret a medical test.It can be different with age, gender, and other factors.The reference ranges may be different in value and units depending on instruments used.
