Understanding Bilirubin Testing: A Key Indicator of Liver Function
Understanding Bilirubin Testing: A Key Indicator of Liver Function
Bilirubin testing is an essential tool for evaluating liver health and diagnosing liver disease. Bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown, is normally processed by the liver and eliminated from the body. Elevated bilirubin levels in the blood can indicate liver damage or dysfunction, leading to jaundice—a visible yellowing of the skin and eyes. If you experience symptoms of jaundice or suspect liver issues, consult with your healthcare provider and consider undergoing a bilirubin blood test for a thorough assessment of your liver function.
