Test Code

Urine Bile Salt & Bile Pigment testing identifies the presence of bile salts and bile pigments (bilirubin) in urine. Normally, bile salts and pigments are excreted through bile into the intestines and are absent in urine. Their presence suggests impaired liver function, hepatocellular damage, or obstruction of bile flow due to conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, gallstones, or obstructive jaundice. This test is commonly performed as part of routine urinalysis or liver function assessment and helps in early detection and differentiation of jaundice types.
