Organ function
Bilirubin
Extended panel — run periodically
What it indicates
A pigment produced as old red blood cells are broken down and processed by the liver.
Why a series helps
It fluctuates with fasting and with illness, sometimes considerably, so one reading is hard to place.
What this page does not tell you
What a particular Bilirubin result means depends on you: your history, your medication, why the test was taken. Ziro does not interpret results for individuals and does not diagnose. If something in your results warrants a conversation, that conversation is with a doctor, and your results are downloadable so you can bring them.
