What is BILIRUBIN INDIRECT?

This blood test measures indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin, which is formed when red blood cells break down before it reaches the liver for processing. High levels can indicate excessive red blood cell destruction or issues with the liver's initial processing.

Why is this test important?

Elevated indirect bilirubin is often seen in conditions like hemolytic anemia (rapid red blood cell destruction), Gilbert's syndrome, or neonatal jaundice. It helps identify problems occurring before the liver fully processes bilirubin.

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.
