The Bilirubin (Total + Direct + Indirect) test is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates bilirubin metabolism in the body. Total bilirubin represents the sum of direct (conjugated) and indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin.
Indirect bilirubin is produced from the breakdown of red blood cells and is transported to the liver, where it is converted into direct bilirubin. Direct bilirubin is water-soluble and excreted into bile.
This profile helps differentiate between pre-hepatic (hemolytic), hepatic (liver-related), and post-hepatic (obstructive) causes of jaundice. It is widely used in diagnosing liver diseases, bile duct obstruction, hemolytic anemia, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and neonatal jaundice. Results should be interpreted along with liver enzymes and clinical findings.
