About test
What does Bilirubin (Indirect) measure?
This test measures indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced when red blood cells break down. It is often assessed along with total and direct bilirubin to help evaluate how bilirubin is being processed by the body. A healthcare professional may order it when investigating jaundice, anemia related to increased red blood cell breakdown, liver-related concerns, or certain inherited bilirubin-processing conditions. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms and other laboratory findings.
