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