Test Overview

Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment that is made by breakdown of haemoglobin and myoglobin. Major production comes from break down of red blood cells. In blood this bilirubin is unconjugated (indirect) and cannot be excreted in urine or bile but can pass through placenta and into brain. In liver it is conjugated (direct) which can now be excreted in bile. A total bilirubin test measures both bilirubin components present in the blood.

Testing for bilirubin is conducted as a part of a group test. It is done to assess the conditions of the liver. The bilirubin pigment is created by the breakdown of red blood cells. The same is passed through the liver. It is then excreted from the body. Let us understand the pigment of bilirubin and the bilirubin total serum test.

What is Bilirubin?

Bilirubin is an orange-yellow pigment. It occurs in the human body. It normally occurs when there is a breakdown of haemoglobin and myoglobin in the body. Haemoglobin is the protein in the red blood cells. It transports oxygen to organs and tissues in your body. It carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs.

Myoglobin on the other hand is the protein. It is found mainly in muscle tissue. Here, myoglobin plays a role as an intracellular storage site for oxygen. However, the major production of bilirubin in you occurs from the disintegration of the red blood cells.

Primarily, the liver is responsible for taking bilirubin in its direct form. The liver then breaks down the bilirubin into bile for being excreted by the body. In the unconjugated or indirect form, bilirubin cannot be passed away from the human body as bile or urine. Rather it makes its way to the brain via your placenta.

A total bilirubin test measures the presence of both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin in your blood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why take Bilirubin Total Serum?

Bilirubin levels estimation gives an idea about the functioning of liver or some other blood-related disorders. If high bilirubin is found in the blood, it means either there is a deficit in liver function that the liver is not able to eliminate it, and needs further evaluation with liver specific tests. More specifically - it’s used to diagnose a condition called “Jaundice” which causes yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes due to excess bilirubin in the blood. Also it is used to diagnose a condition called “haemolysis” -which is excess breakdown of RBCs, leading to high bilirubin production beyond the efficiency of the liver to eliminate it.

Is this test for you?

Your doctor may recommend the test for you if you show signs like:

Jaundice
Anaemia or Low RBC
Have a history of heavy alcohol or drug consumption
Have been exposed to the hepatitis virus
Dark urine
Abdominal pain and swelling

More Info on Bilirubin Total Serum

Bilirubin is a yellowish fluid produced by the liver. Bilirubin is a byproduct, resulting from the the breakdown of old and damaged red blood cells (RBCs) as part of their natural destruction process. This bilirubin is then conjugated with a substance called bile in the liver, and later it gets excreted through faeces.

Bilirubin exists either in a free form or is conjugated with a protein or sugar called albumin or glucuronide, respectively. The free form of bilirubin wherein it isn’t attached to albumin or any other blood component –it’s called conjugated or direct bilirubin. On the contrary, the bilirubin that is attached to albumin or any other blood component-it’s referred as “Indirect or unconjugated bilirubin”

A bilirubin blood test involves the measuring the levels of conjugated and unconjugated individually, and also summing up both the values to yield “total bilirubin”.
