What does Urobilinogen measure?
The urobilinogen test measures the amount of urobilinogen, a substance formed when bilirubin is broken down in the body. It may be used as part of an evaluation of liver function, bile flow, or conditions involving increased breakdown of red blood cells. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
