About test
What does Bilirubin (Total + Direct) measure?
This test measures total bilirubin and direct (conjugated) bilirubin, substances formed during normal red blood cell breakdown and processed by the liver. It may help assess liver function, bile flow, jaundice, or conditions that affect bilirubin production, processing, or clearance. The relationship between total and direct bilirubin can provide useful clinical context. Results are interpreted together with symptoms, medical history, and other relevant laboratory findings.
