What letters on a bolood tests represent bilirubin count?
The letters used to represent bilirubin count on a blood test are usually "T Bili" for total bilirubin and "D Bili" for direct bilirubin. Total bilirubin includes both direct and indirect bilirubin, while direct bilirubin specifically measures the amount that is conjugated and ready to be cleared by the liver.
What it total bilirubin?
Total bilirubin is a measure of the bilirubin levels in the blood, which is a yellow compound produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. It consists of two fractions: unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin, which is not water-soluble and is processed by the liver, and conjugated (direct) bilirubin, which is water-soluble and excreted in bile. Elevated levels of total bilirubin can indicate liver dysfunction, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis. Testing total bilirubin is often part of a liver function panel to assess liver health.
