Bilirubin Total

Bilirubin Total – Houston, TX

Bilirubin, a product of blood breakdown, is a component of many test panels, such as a comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP) or a hepatic panel. An elevated level must be interpreted in the context of other studies as well as by “fractionating” it into direct and indirect components. Conditions that increase bilirubin concentrations are disorders of bilirubin metabolism, liver disease, and biliary obstruction.
