What Urobilinogen Testing Reveals

  1. Liver Health
    1. Abnormal urobilinogen levels (either too high or too low) can indicate liver damage, infections, or bile duct blockages.
  2. Red Blood Cell Breakdown:
    1. Elevated urobilinogen levels can be a sign of hemolysis (excessive destruction of red blood cells).
  3. Bile Duct Function
    1. Very low or absent urobilinogen levels suggest a possible bile duct obstruction, preventing bilirubin from entering the intestines.
