In order to check if your liver is functioning properly, our test kit tests on two compounds – Bilirubin and Uro-bilinogen. It will be carried to the liver by blood vessels and then to the intestines by means of a small duct connecting the liver with the intestine. This duct is called bile duct. Bilirubin can also be stored in the gall bladder. In the intestine, bilirubin can be converted to a compound called Uro-bilinogen by intestinal bacteria. A small percentage of this compound can be reabsorbed to the blood stream. Increased levels of urobilinogen and/or bilirubin in blood will lead to its appearance in urine. There are a few conditions that may lead to the increase bilirubin and/or uro-bilinogen in blood and urine. Excessive breakdown of red blood cells. Obstruction of the bilary tract which is associated to gallstones, tumor or liver inflammation which will restrict the movement of bilirubin to the intestines on its way out of the body. Liver disease such as Hepatitis infection, liver cancer, cirrhosis (scaring of liver normally associated with chronic alcohol drinker). It’s Easy
