The Bile Salt & Pigments is a urine test that measures the amount of bile salts and bile pigments, which are essential components for the digestion of fats in the body. It helps detect liver and gallbladder diseases, such as jaundice, liver disease, and bile duct obstruction, offering insights into the health of the liver and gallbladder.

Consider getting tested if you experience symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss, as these can indicate liver or bile duct dysfunction.

Frequent monitoring is especially useful for individuals with known liver diseases or those going through treatments that may potentially affect liver function.

What does Bile Salt & Pigments measure?
The Bile Salt & Pigments test measures the presence of bile salts and bile pigments in the urine. These substances are typically produced in the liver and play a role in digestion. Increased concentration of bile salts and pigments may suggest liver disease, blockage of the bile duct, or a condition affecting the production and excretion of bile. Normally, bile salts are processed and excreted via the digestive system, but when the liver or bile ducts are impaired, these substances may eventually appear in the urine, indicating liver and bile dysfunction. Therefore, this test acts as a marker to evaluate liver health, identify bile-related problems, and guide medical treatment or interventions.
