BILIRUBIN FOUND IN URINE

Value: 100 μmol/l

Bilirubin is a yellow compound created by the liver during the normal healthy recycling of red blood cells. Your test result of BILIRUBIN DETECTED is a strong warning that your liver may be seriously damaged and leaking bilirubin into your urine.

Finding bilirubin in urine may indicate a medical condition called bilirubinuria. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced by the breakdown of red blood cells and is normally processed by the liver and excreted in bile. When bilirubin appears in urine, it can be a sign of serious liver or biliary system dysfunction.

Possible conditions associated with bilirubinuria include liver diseases (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis), bile duct obstruction, gallstones, or severe blood disorders. Immediate evaluation is highly recommended to avoid complications.

Recommendations

• Seek urgent medical care: A bilirubin value of 100 μmol/l is critically elevated. Contact your healthcare provider immediately or visit an emergency facility.
• Comprehensive liver function testing: Essential blood tests (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin fractions) will help assess liver health.
• Imaging diagnostics: Ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI may be necessary to examine liver, bile ducts, and surrounding organs for blockages, tumors, or structural issues.
• Strictly follow medical advice: Depending on diagnosis, treatment may include medications, hospitalization, surgery, or other interventions.
• Protect your liver: Completely avoid alcohol, hepatotoxic medications, and unhealthy foods. Maintain hydration and a liver-friendly diet under medical supervision.
