(Newswire.net — August 22, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — While bilirubin is practically unknown beyond the medical fraternity, the detection of excess amounts of this chemical in urine can indicate an issue with jaundice, anemia and liver conditions. Bilirubin is a chemical by-product of red blood cells breaking down when they’re too old to operate anymore but if hemolytic anemia occurs, too much bilirubin may be produced leading to jaundice as well.
“Bilirubin is formed by the breakdown of red blood cells in the body,” explains Medical News Today. “The liver helps to excrete it. The levels of bilirubin in the blood can indicate the health of the liver. High bilirubin levels can occur in adults, but the disorder is more common in newborns. This is because a baby has fewer bacteria in the gut to help break down and dispose of bilirubin.”
In the event that a liver disease is suspected, a bilirubin test would be highly recommended. Jaundice is one of the many symptoms doctors will be on the look for in addition to the following:
· Dark-colored urine
· Abdominal pain
· Nausea and vomiting
· Fatigue
“Your liver takes the bilirubin from your blood and changes its chemical make-up so that most of it is passed through your poop as bile,” explains WebMD.com. “If your bilirubin levels are higher than normal, it’s a sign that either your red blood cells are breaking down at an unusual rate or that your liver isn’t breaking down waste properly and clearing the bilirubin from your blood.”
