Total Bilirubin details

What Total Bilirubin shows

Total bilirubin combines both the processed (direct/conjugated) and unprocessed (indirect/unconjugated) forms of bilirubin โ€” a yellow pigment produced from the normal breakdown of red blood cells and processed by your liver for excretion. Elevated total bilirubin causes the yellowing of skin and eyes known as jaundice, and can result from increased red blood cell breakdown, impaired liver processing, or blocked bile flow. Breaking the result down into direct and indirect portions helps pinpoint which of these is the more likely cause, making total bilirubin most useful when interpreted alongside its direct and indirect components.
