Bilirubin Test Overview
Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment found in the red blood cells, which is then broken down and carried by the liver for disposal. This process thus consists of two parts. In the first part after the red blood cells are broken down, the bilirubin is bound to a protein (albumin) in the blood. This is known as unconjugated or direct bilirubin. In the second part, liver then converts the bilirubin into a form that can be excreted. This is known as conjugated or direct bilirubin. Bilirubin test is a blood test used to measure the amount of direct as well as indirect bilirubin in the blood.
Overview
The bilirubin test is a medical test. It measures the levels of bilirubin in the blood. Three types of bilirubin are measured: total, direct, and indirect.
The total bilirubin level measures all of the bilirubin in the blood, while the direct and indirect bilirubin levels measure specific types of bilirubin. The direct bilirubin level measures bilirubin that is conjugated or bound to a protein. The indirect bilirubin level measures bilirubin that is unconjugated, or not bound to a protein.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bilirubin levels estimation gives an idea about the functioning of liver or some other blood-related disorders. If high bilirubin is found in the blood, it means either there is a deficit in liver function that the liver is not able to eliminate it, and needs further evaluation with liver specific tests. More specifically - it’s used to diagnose a condition called “Jaundice” which causes yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes due to excess bilirubin in the blood. Also it is used to diagnose a condition called “haemolysis” -which is excess breakdown of RBCs, leading to high bilirubin production beyond the efficiency of the liver to eliminate it.
Your doctor may recommend the test for you if you show signs like:
- Jaundice
- Anaemia or Low RBC
- Have a history of heavy alcohol or drug consumption
- Have been exposed to the hepatitis virus
- Dark urine
- Abdominal pain and swelling
Bilirubin is a yellowish fluid produced by the liver. Bilirubin is a byproduct, resulting from the the breakdown of old and damaged red blood cells (RBCs) as part of their natural destruction process. This bilirubin is then conjugated with a substance called bile in the liver, and later it gets excreted through faeces.
Bilirubin exists either in a free form or is conjugated with a protein or sugar called albumin or glucuronide, respectively. The free form of bilirubin wherein it isn’t attached to albumin or any other blood component –it’s called conjugated or direct bilirubin. On the contrary, the bilirubin that is attached to albumin or any other blood component-it’s referred as “Indirect or unconjugated bilirubin”
A bilirubin blood test involves the measuring the levels of conjugated and unconjugated individually, and also summing up both the values to yield “total bilirubin”.
