Bilirubin (Total)

Bilirubin (Total)

High bilirubin leads to jaundice, a yellow cast to your skin and the whites of your eyes. Jaundice is often the first symptom that would prompt a healthcare provider to check your bilirubin levels. High bilirubin in your blood can also leak out in your pee, making it darker.

.

As such, there is no defined dangerous level of bilirubin, but usually above 1.2 mg/dl is considered a high level.

.

If you have elevated bilirubin levels, you should take steps to lower them and promote liver health by making several changes to your diet. These changes include drinking more water, cutting back on your alcohol consumption, and eating more fruits and vegetables and fewer processed foods.
