Bilirubin, Total Quest

This test measures bilirubin levels in your blood, which can help identify potential liver or bile duct problems causing your symptoms.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Abdominal pain: High bilirubin can indicate issues like gallstones or liver inflammation that may cause abdominal discomfort.
• Dark urine: Excess bilirubin being excreted by the kidneys can make your urine appear dark.
• Fatigue: Liver problems affecting bilirubin processing can lead to feelings of tiredness and fatigue.
• Jaundice: Elevated bilirubin causes the yellowing of the skin and eyes known as jaundice.
• Nausea: Conditions causing high bilirubin, such as liver disease or bile duct obstruction, can trigger nausea.
• Pale stools: Reduced bilirubin reaching the intestines, often due to bile duct blockage, can result in light-colored stools.
