The Bilirubin (Total) test estimates the total amount of bilirubin present in the blood, which includes both indirect (unconjugated) and direct (conjugated) bilirubin. Bilirubin is produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells and is processed by the liver for excretion.
Elevated total bilirubin levels may indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, excessive red blood cell breakdown (hemolysis), or impaired bilirubin metabolism. This test is commonly used in evaluating jaundice, monitoring liver function, and assessing conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, gallstones, and hemolytic anemia.
Results are best interpreted along with direct and indirect bilirubin levels, liver enzymes, and clinical findings.
