Overview
Bile salts and pigments are essential components for the digestion of fats in the body. Produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, these substances aid in breaking down fats so your body can absorb essential nutrients. The Bile Salt and Pigment test detects the presence of bile salts and pigments in your urine. Normally these are absent, but their presence can indicate liver disease or problems with bile flow.
