Direct Bilirubin Serum Test in Kolkata

Direct Bilirubin Serum Test in Kolkata

Starts from 50*

Also known as conjugated bilirubin serum test, a direct bilirubin test in Kolkata is requested when a patient is suspected to have liver disease, like jaundice. This test is conducted to check the level of bilirubin present in the serum extracted from the body.

Any problem of liver functioning or damage to the bile ducts will cause the conjugated bilirubin to be present in higher numbers in the blood system.

About Direct Bilirubin Serum Test

Why is a direct bilirubin serum test done?

Every day, the body produces new blood cells to replace the older ones as they die. When the older red blood cells die, they leave behind a small amount of bilirubin. Bilirubin is yellowish in color and is formed via the breaking down of the heme part of hemoglobin. This bilirubin is further broken down by the liver and passed on to the small intestine to be removed from the body via excretion.

A doctor might suggest a direct bilirubin test in Kolkata when the patient shows the following symptoms:

  • Passage of urine that is darker yellow in color
  • Stool that is the color of clay or light gray
  • Feeling of nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Skin and the whites of the eyes becoming yellowish
  • Excessive fatigue
  • Pain in the belly or swelling

People who consume excessive alcohol are also suggested to get a bilirubin test done to check for any signs of liver damage even when symptoms are not visible.

What does the direct bilirubin serum test measure?

The bilirubin test measures the amount of bilirubin that is present in the blood taken as a sample. In a healthy person, conjugated or direct bilirubin should not be present in the blood. The traces of bilirubin that are found should be that of unconjugated bilirubin, formed when the hemoglobin breaks down to form bilirubin and is taken by the blood to the liver.

When a direct bilirubin test is prescribed by the doctor, they are looking for diseases that can cause damage to the liver or the bile ducts that help with the passage of the bilirubin to the small intestine. These diseases include:

  • Gallstones
  • Hepatitis
  • Cirrhosis
Potential risks/side effects of Direct Bilirubin Serum Test

When opting for direct bilirubin test, there can be certain side effects associated with the process of drawing out blood. Since the blood for the test is drawn from veins, the varying sizes and the depth at which the veins are to be found can cause the need to perform multiple punctures or lead to slightly more bleeding than required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

Can caffeine increase the bilirubin levels?

No, caffeine and NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) often cause a decrease in the level of bilirubin in the blood.

Does bilirubin test results always indicate jaundice or hepatitis?

Bilirubin levels are also checked when a person shows signs of anemia or allergic reaction to certain drugs.

Babies often have high bilirubin levels, is that normal?

Usually, in babies, the high amount of bilirubin levels out within the first two weeks. If that does not occur, it can indicate diseases or blood incompatibility.

Is high bilirubin concentration always associated with liver disease?

Sometimes, the bilirubin concentration can be high even before the liver gets affected. A condition called hemolytic anemia can cause high concentration in the blood.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED

Interpreting the Direct Bilirubin Serum Test results

Once the results of the direct bilirubin test are received, the doctor reads the measured levels of bilirubin in the blood and compares them to the range that is considered to be normal. 

The normal amount of conjugated bilirubin level should be less than 0.3mg/dl. Ethnicity and gender play a vital role in determining the amount of conjugated bilirubin in the blood. Men have higher levels as compared to women. People of African–American origins generally have lower bilirubin levels. The absence of conjugated bilirubin is normal.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
