Bilirubin Direct near me in Howrah









The Bilirubin Direct test measures the level of direct bilirubin (conjugated bilirubin), which is processed by the liver and excreted into the bile. It plays an important role in the breakdown and elimination of red blood cells and other waste products from the body. Increased levels of direct bilirubin can indicate liver or bile duct dysfunction, obstructive jaundice, or other liver disorders. Available at an affordable price in Howrah with Tata 1mg labs, this test is done as a part of a liver function test to get a comprehensive understanding of liver health.
Your doctor may suggest the Bilirubin Direct test if you are experiencing symptoms such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, light-colored stools, or fatigue. No fasting is required for this test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, it is important to inform your doctor of any medications or supplements you are taking, as they may affect the test results.








What does Bilirubin Direct measure?
The Bilirubin Direct test measures the amount of direct or conjugated bilirubin present in your body. Bilirubin is a yellowish byproduct primarily produced when the body breaks down aged RBCs. When the RBCs finish their lifespan of 120 days, they break down and pass to the liver. In the liver, direct bilirubin–a form of bilirubin conjugated with glucuronic acid (sugar)–is processed, mixed with bile, and then excreted in the bile ducts and stored in your gallbladder. Finally, the bile is released into the small intestine where it is further broken down and helps digest fat. It is eventually excreted within your stool as a waste product.
Elevated levels of bilirubin can be indicative of various liver or bile duct issues. Additionally, higher bilirubin levels might result from an increased breakdown of red blood cells in the body.
