Bilirubin Home Blood Test
Bilirubin Home Blood Test
The Bilirubin Blood Test is a liver-focused diagnostic panel designed to assess how well your liver is functioning and whether there may be underlying liver disease, bile duct issues, or problems related to red blood cell breakdown. This test measures bilirubin — a yellow pigment formed when red blood cells break down — as well as key liver enzymes and proteins that indicate how effectively the liver is processing waste, producing essential proteins, and maintaining overall metabolic health.
Used widely across NHS trusts and private healthcare providers, this panel is supported by clinical guidelines from bodies such as NICE and the British Liver Trust. It is frequently requested to investigate jaundice, abnormal liver function, or symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, and dark urine, and is also used to monitor chronic liver conditions, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, or the effects of alcohol or medication.
What Does It Test For?
This test evaluates bilirubin levels and a range of liver enzymes and proteins that collectively provide a picture of liver health. It helps detect liver inflammation, bile duct blockages, liver cell damage, and impaired protein synthesis. Elevated bilirubin or abnormal enzyme patterns can suggest conditions such as hepatitis, gallstones, liver fibrosis, or drug-induced liver injury. It is also useful in diagnosing causes of jaundice or monitoring known liver conditions to assess disease progression or response to treatment.
