Bilirubin (Total + Direct + Indirect)

Bilirubin (Total + Direct + Indirect)

An example of normal values for adults is: Total bilirubin: 0.3 to 1.0 mg/dL. Direct (conjugated) bilirubin: 0.0 to 0.3 mg/dL. Indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin: 0.2 to 0.8 mg/dL.

.

Higher levels of direct bilirubin in your blood may mean your liver isn't clearing bilirubin properly. This may mean there is liver damage or disease. Higher levels of indirect bilirubin may be a sign of other problems. One common cause of elevated bilirubin is Gilbert syndrome.

.

The liver releases the bilirubin in fluid called bile. If the liver is not functioning correctly, the bilirubin will not be properly released. Therefore, if the bilirubin level is higher than expected, it may mean that the liver is not functioning correctly.
