What is Total Bilirubin (Total Bilirubin)?
Total Bilirubin is measured as part of a liver function panel. Your bilirubin is normal — your liver is processing waste efficiently.
What does a high Total Bilirubin mean?
Elevated bilirubin can cause jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes). Causes include liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or excessive red blood cell breakdown.
If markedly elevated: Critically high bilirubin often causes visible jaundice and requires medical attention.
What does a low Total Bilirubin mean?
Low total bilirubin is not typically concerning.
