Why this test is performed?
Helps diagnose and monitor jaundice and find its cause — whether from increased red cell breakdown (high indirect), liver disease or bile duct blockage (high direct). Also used for newborn jaundice and Gilbert's syndrome.
Who should take this test?
Jaundice, nausea, abdominal pain or swelling, alcohol use, fatty liver, hepatitis risk, or people on long-term medicines.
