Conjugated bilirubin
Direct bilirubin has been processed by the liver and is ready to be eliminated from the body. Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment produced when red blood cells break down. It is processed by the liver and converted into direct bilirubin, which is then excreted through bile into the intestines and eventually eliminated from the body. Elevated levels of direct bilirubin can indicate liver or gallbladder problems.

What interests you about the Conjugated bilirubin test?
What is conjugated bilirubin?
Direct or conjugated bilirubin is a form of bilirubin that is conjugated with glucuronic acid in the liver and subsequently excreted in bile; when the concentration in the blood increases, it is also excreted in the urine. Measuring this metabolite helps in the diagnosis of many liver disease conditions.
What does elevated bilirubin in the blood mean?
An increase in bilirubin occurs in diseases when, due to hemolytic processes, bilirubin production accelerates to the point that the liver cannot metabolize it. Bilirubin also increases in cases of liver immaturity and bile duct obstruction, or in cases of mechanical or chemical damage to liver cells.
How does bilirubin conjugation occur?
Bilirubin conjugation takes place in the liver hepatocyte. Glucuronic acid binds to the bilirubin molecule, which increases its solubility in water. Due to its solubility in water, bilirubin enters the bile and partly also into the urine.
What do elevated liver test values mean?
Elevated liver test values should not be underestimated, as they are often a signal of problems with the liver or bile ducts. A liver examination will provide important information about the function of liver cells and will tell you how well the liver is functioning, how the body processes toxins and how it can excrete waste products.
