Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment found in bile, a fluid produced by the liver. When the liver is damaged, bilirubin can leak into your urine. A bilirubin in urine test can help detect liver disease.
Bilirubin Blood Test
Also called: Bilirubin, Hypobilirubinemia Test, Hyperbilirubinemia Test
A bilirubin blood test measures the levels of bilirubin in your blood. Bilirubin is a yellowish substance that is created by the breakdown (destruction) of hemoglobin, a major component of red blood cells. High bilirubin levels may be a sign of liver disease.
