Description
Why It’s Done:
This test helps to:
• Diagnose liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver failure
• Assess for bile duct obstruction (e.g., from gallstones or tumors)
• Monitor cholestasis, a condition where bile flow is impaired
• Detect hemolytic disorders (e.g., jaundice)
Sample Collection:
• A random urine sample is typically collected for this test.
• The sample is analyzed for the presence of bilirubin, urobilinogen, and bile salts.
