Categories: ,

The Urine Bile Salt & Bile Pigment Test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of bile salts and bile pigments (such as bilirubin and urobilinogen) in the urine. These substances are typically found in the bile produced by the liver and are involved in the digestion of fats. Their presence in urine may indicate liver dysfunction or obstruction of the bile ducts.

    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.
