What is Indirect Bilirubin?
Indirect bilirubin is a biomarker found in the blood and is a product of the breakdown of red blood cells. It is first converted into direct bilirubin in the liver before it can leave the body. Measuring indirect bilirubin helps in assessing liver function and the condition of the blood cells.
Why should you have Indirect Bilirubin tested?
Testing for indirect bilirubin is useful for assessing liver health and determining if there are problems with red blood cell breakdown. It can also assist in diagnosing conditions such as jaundice, anemia, and liver diseases.
What does it indicate?
Indirect bilirubin levels can indicate how well the liver processes substances resulting from broken-down red blood cells. Abnormal levels can point to issues with the liver or with the breakdown of red blood cells.
What does a high Indirect Bilirubin level mean?
A high level of indirect bilirubin may indicate liver problems such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or bile duct obstruction. It can also be a sign of increased red blood cell breakdown.
What does a low Indirect Bilirubin level mean?
Low levels of indirect bilirubin are generally not concerning and are often not considered a direct indicator of a specific condition.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
