Total Bilirubin analysis is a blood test that measures the overall level of bilirubin in the body, which includes two types: direct (conjugated) bilirubin and indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin. Bilirubin is produced from the breakdown of red blood cells, where hemoglobin is degraded and converted into bilirubin that is then processed by the liver. This test is primarily used to assess the health of the liver and gallbladder, as it helps diagnose conditions such as jaundice, which occurs when bilirubin levels accumulate in the blood. Elevated total bilirubin levels may indicate issues such as hepatitis, bile duct obstruction, or excessive breakdown of red blood cells. Total bilirubin analysis is usually performed alongside other liver function tests for a comprehensive assessment. It is important for results to be interpreted in consultation with a specialist, as they help guide treatment and inform decisions regarding related health conditions.
