Liver / Pancreas
Also known as: Unconjugated Bilirubin
If you experience yellowing of your skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, clay-colored stools, or severe stomach pain, contact your healthcare provider immediately or seek urgent care.
This lab test checks for a kind of bilirubin in your blood. Your liver has not processed this bilirubin yet. Bilirubin is a yellow stuff. It forms when old red blood cells wear out.
Doctors often check your indirect bilirubin levels. This helps them see if your body is breaking down red blood cells too quickly. It also helps them find out why you might have jaundice or problems with your liver.
Reference ranges for indirect bilirubin can vary between different laboratories and may also depend on age, sex, and other factors. Always refer to the specific ranges provided by your lab.
