What is Bilirubin assay used for?

Bilirubin is formed by the breakdown of haemoglobin in the spleen, liver and bone marrow. It can be conjugated with glucuronic acid or unconjugated (albumin bound). An increase in bilirubin concentration in the serum or tissue is called jaundice and can occur in toxic or infectious diseases of the liver. High levels of conjugated or direct bilirubin indicate that bile is not being properly excreted; therefore an obstruction may be present in the bile duct or gall bladder. High levels of unconjugated bilirubin indicate that too much haemoglobin is being destroyed or that the liver is not actively treating the haemoglobin it is receiving.

The bilirubin assay can be used for the screening and monitoring of liver function disorders and in the diagnosis of jaundice.
