The Bilirubin Direct test measures the level of conjugated (direct) bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. In the liver, unconjugated bilirubin is converted into direct bilirubin, which is water-soluble and excreted into bile. Elevated direct bilirubin levels may indicate liver dysfunction, bile duct obstruction, hepatitis, or other hepatic conditions. This test helps differentiate between unconjugated and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia and assists in diagnosing jaundice, liver disease, and hemolytic disorders. It is typically performed alongside total and indirect bilirubin tests for comprehensive assessment.
