The presence of bilirubin in urine is an important early warning sign of potential health issues, including:
- Liver Disease: Hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver infections.
- Gallbladder or Bile Duct Obstruction: Gallstones, inflammation, or tumors.
- Jaundice: A yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by bilirubin buildup in the blood, often linked to liver or bile duct problems.
Identifying bilirubin in urine early allows for timely intervention to address the underlying cause.
