Bilirubin Test: Understanding High vs. Low Levels Causes Unconjugated bilirubin may be called “indirect” bilirubin on your test results At what level is bilirubin a concern? Different labs may have slightly different ranges for what they consider normal bilirubin levels On average, total bilirubin levels between 0 2 and 1 3 mg dL are considered normal for children and adults
Bilirubin test - Mayo Clinic Typical results for a total bilirubin test are 1 2 milligrams per deciliter (mg dL) for adults and usually 1 mg dL for those under 18 Typical results for direct bilirubin are generally 0 3 mg dL These results may vary slightly from laboratory to laboratory
Direct Bilirubin VS Indirect Bilirubin - Lab Tests Guide There are two forms of bilirubin: Indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin and Direct (Conjugated) bilirubin Indirect bilirubin is the initial form of bilirubin produced by the breakdown of red blood cells, while Direct bilirubin is the processed, water-soluble form that is excreted from the body
Direct Indirect Bilirubin Test: Normal Levels Jaundice Indirect and direct bilirubin together make up total bilirubin Indirect bilirubin may be too high when the liver is unable to adequately process (conjugated) bilirubin or when there is abnormal destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis)
Bilirubin Levels Chart for Adults: Understanding Low, High . . . 𝐀 Normal total bilirubin levels for adults typically range from 0 2 to 1 2 mg dL, though some labs use slightly different ranges Direct bilirubin should be between 0 0 to 0 3 mg dL, while indirect bilirubin usually stays below 0 9 mg dL
Indirect Bilirubin - University of Rochester Medical Center Indirect and direct bilirubin make up your total bilirubin When total bilirubin is abnormal, it is important to measure direct and indirect bilirubin levels Bilirubin is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg dL) An example of normal values for adults is: Total bilirubin: 0 3 to 1 0 mg dL Direct (conjugated) bilirubin: 0 1 to 0 3 mg dL
Bilirubin and Bilirubin Blood Test - MedicineNet Normal values of direct bilirubin range from 0 to 0 4 mg dL Total bilirubin (direct and indirect) ranges from about 0 2 to 1 2 mg dL (some lab values range as high as 1 9 mg dL) Medical literature sources have minor variations in "normal" levels
Bilirubin:- Part 1 – Total Bilirubin (Direct and Indirect . . . How will you define Total Bilirubin (Direct and Indirect Bilirubin)? How will you discuss the pathophysiology of Bilirubin? What are the sources of the bilirubin? How will you discuss the metabolism of the bilirubin? What will happen in the first stage? Total Bilirubin = Direct bilirubin + Indirect bilirubin
Bilirubin Blood Test: High vs. Low Levels, Direct vs. Indirect There are two types of bilirubin that can be estimated by a blood test: conjugated (direct) and unconjugated (indirect) Total bilirubin is the sum of direct and indirect bilirubin in the body Your bilirubin serum test results come back with both a total and direct value
