CertifiedLabsWhat is Bilirubin (Total + Direct) Test?
Bilirubin is a yellow substance made when old red blood cells break down. The liver processes it. This test measures both the total bilirubin and the direct (processed) form, which helps pinpoint where a problem lies. This test measures total bilirubin and the direct portion in your blood. Comparing the two helps doctors tell apart problems in the blood, the liver, and the bile ducts.
