How to address Urobilinogen Imbalance

  1. For Elevated Urobilinogen:
    1. Treat underlying liver conditions (e.g., hepatitis) with medication or lifestyle changes (e.g., reducing alcohol intake, adopting a liver-friendly diet).
    2. Investigate and treat conditions causing red blood cell destruction, like hemolytic anemia.
  2. For Low or Absent Urobilinogen:
    1. Address bile duct obstructions with medical or surgical intervention (e.g., removing gallstones or treating tumors).
    2. Manage severe liver damage or failure under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
