Bilirubin test

A medical test that measures the amount of bilirubin in the blood, which is a yellow compound produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. The test helps diagnose and monitor liver diseases, hemolytic anemia, and bile duct blockages by measuring two types of bilirubin: direct (conjugated) and indirect (unconjugated). It is particularly useful for healthcare providers in assessing liver function and identifying potential liver-related issues in patients.
