Urobilinogen refers to the presence of bilirubin in the urine. Bilirubin is an enzyme that comes from the liver, and if it shows up in urine, that typically means that a person has a serious illness. The illness could be anything from gallstones to anemia, since bilirubin in the urine could be caused by many different things.
Leukocytes is infection. Urobilinogen is blood in the urine. It sounds like you was performing a test for a urine infection. If either of these 2 are positive then you have a UTI or possible Kidney infection if blood is found in urine.
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: Urobilinogen is normally present in urine at concentrations up to 1.0mg/dl. A result of 2.0mg/dl represents the transition zone from normal to abnormal and the patient and or urine specimen should be evaluated further for hemolytic and hepatic disease. Evaluation of both the bilirubin and urobilinogen results helps in the differential diagnosis of jaundice, as well as other liver and biliary disorders.
urobilinogen
Urobilinogen is colourless but may react with reagents to form a pink colour for lab analysis. Dr Pete Chamberlain
it is used for detecting Urobilinogen in Urine, in TLC plates, and for hydrazine indicator.
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.
A urobilinogen level of 4 in urine is within the normal range. Levels between 0.2-1.0 mg/dL are considered typical. Levels above 1.0 mg/dL may indicate liver disease or hemolytic disorders.
If you mean like high amount of urine: Polyuria. If you mean like high amount of particles inside the urine: High specific gravity = your urine may have high levels of glucose, protein, bilirubin, urobilinogen, or/and a lot of mucus, crystals, bacteria, and tissue/blood cells.
Hemolytic jaundice - excessive breakdown of red blood cells leads to a corresponding increase in conjugated bilirubin excreted by the liver, converted to urobilinogen in the intestines, and more urobilinogen being reabsorbed in the intestines which gets excreted in the urine.
