What is BILE SALT AND PIGMENT, URINE?

This urine test checks for the presence of bile salts and pigments. Normally, these substances are not found in urine. Their appearance can indicate that bile is not flowing properly from the liver or gallbladder into the digestive system.

Why is this test important?

Detecting bile salts and pigments in urine is a strong indicator of obstructive jaundice or other liver conditions that impair bile excretion. It helps identify issues like gallstones or liver inflammation early on.

How to Prepare

No special preparation is required for this urine test. You can eat and drink normally before providing the sample.
