What is BILIRUBIN DIRECT?

This blood test measures direct (conjugated) bilirubin, a waste product formed when red blood cells break down. Direct bilirubin is processed by the liver and then excreted. High levels can signal problems with the liver's ability to excrete bile.

Why is this test important?

Elevated direct bilirubin levels are often associated with conditions like bile duct obstruction (e.g., gallstones, tumors), hepatitis, or other liver diseases. It helps pinpoint issues occurring after bilirubin has been processed by the liver.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours is typically required before this blood test. Please consult your doctor for specific instructions regarding medication and food intake.

It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
