Urinary Bilirubin Test

Liver is that part of our body where bilirubin is found. When the red blood cells break down then it leads to the production of bilirubin. If the levels of bilirubin raise more than 25 milligrams per decilitre then there occurs the serious illness. Jaundice is caused by high levels of bilirubin and liver disease can also be the cause of higher levels of bilirubin in our body. If we want to measure the amount of bilirubin in our body then we have to move towards urinary bilirubin test.
