Urobilinogen (urine)
Urobilinogen in urine is a by-product of red blood cell breakdown, formed in the intestines from bilirubin and excreted in the urine. It is normally present in low concentrations and acts as an indicator of liver function and health. Abnormally high or low levels may suggest liver disease or blood-related conditions.
Description
Testing for urinary urobilinogen levels is particularly beneficial for individuals showing signs of liver disease, jaundice, or hemolytic disorders. It’s also useful for monitoring the liver function of patients with known liver issues, those who consume excessive alcohol, and those on medication that could potentially harm the liver.
- Dark urine
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Abdominal pain
- Fatigue
- Nausea or vomiting
Lowering urinary urobilinogen levels typically involves treating the underlying cause. This may include managing liver diseases such as hepatitis, reducing alcohol consumption, and adjusting medications that may impact liver function. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding harmful substances are key to maintaining liver health. In some cases, specific medical treatments for liver or blood disorders might be necessary.
- Liver diseases (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis)
- Hemolytic disorders (excessive breakdown of red blood cells)
- Blockage of bile ducts
- Certain medications or toxins
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Dehydration or overhydration

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
