The treatment of urobilinogen depends on the underlying cause. If the abnormal levels were caused by a certain medication, the doctor will try a different drug. If the abnormal levels were caused by hemolytic anemia, the doctor will prescribe iron supplements. If a diseased liver was the cause, the person may be hospitalized for close monitoring and given antiviral drugs. In short, the doctor will evaluate the situation and make a treatment plan based on the results.
What if your UROBILINOGEN, UA is 2.0?
There is nothing to worry about with a Urobilinogen level of 1.0 E.U./dL. If you had a level above two then I would be concerned
no 1.8
i have same result which is Urobilinogen <2 and the doctor says dont worry about it. drink plenty of water though.
Yes, hepatitis C can cause elevated urobilinogen levels in urine due to liver damage and impaired function. As a result, the liver may not be able to properly process bilirubin, leading to increased levels of urobilinogen in the urine.
Urobilinogen is colourless but may react with reagents to form a pink colour for lab analysis. Dr Pete Chamberlain
Urobilinogen may turn brown on a urine dipstick due to oxidation, which occurs when the urobilinogen is exposed to air or certain chemicals in the dipstick. This brown color indicates the presence of oxidized forms of urobilinogen, which can occur in conditions such as liver disease or hemolysis. Additionally, a high concentration of bilirubin in the urine can also lead to similar color changes.
Urobilinogen itself is not known to cause gout. Gout is primarily associated with elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, which can crystallize in the joints and lead to inflammation and pain. Urobilinogen is a byproduct of bilirubin reduction and is related to liver function and bile metabolism. While liver health can influence overall metabolism, there is no direct link between urobilinogen and the development of gout.
It's the bilirubin found in an urinalysis.
Urobilinogen is a byproduct of bilirubin degradation in the intestines and is excreted in urine, while porphobilinogen is an intermediate in heme synthesis and is not normally found in urine. In laboratory testing, urobilinogen is detected using a reagent strip test, while porphobilinogen is detected using specific biochemical assays like Watson-Schwartz test or Ehrlich's test.

Urobilinogen shows that something is wrong with your liver. You should get that checked out with a doctor. Well, Alcohol and drugs and artificial things are generally bad for your liver
