What This Test Measures
The Liver Test measures bilirubin and urobilinogen, which are important markers of liver function. These substances are indicators of how well the liver is processing waste products and handling toxins.
About the Liver:
The liver plays a vital role in filtering toxins from the body, producing bile, and breaking down chemicals and nutrients. It’s the only organ that doesn’t have sensory nerves, so it’s essential to test liver function regularly, even without obvious symptoms. Symptoms like jaundice, abdominal pain, and changes in stool color may indicate liver issues.
How It Works
Order Your Kit: Purchase online and receive your test kit.
Collect Your Sample: Use the provided collection tools to collect urine.
Test & Wait: Dip the test strip into the urine for 1 second. Wait for results within 5 minutes.
Interpret the Results: Compare the results with the color chart to see if the levels are normal or elevated.
Sample Collection
Collect a small urine sample in a clean container. Use the included pipette to transfer 3 drops into the test cassette, then wait for the reaction to occur.
Symptoms of Liver Issues
The liver doesn't have sensory nerves, so problems may not be obvious until they’re more severe. Symptoms that could indicate liver dysfunction include:
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
Abdominal pain or discomfort, particularly in the upper right side
Swollen abdomen or fluid retention
Fatigue or weakness
Loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting
Pale-colored stool or dark urine
Muscle cramps or pain
Biomarkers included
- Bilirubin: Bilirubin is a yellow pigment formed when red blood cells are broken down. It is transported to the liver, where it is processed (conjugated) and then excreted through bile. Measuring bilirubin helps assess how well the liver and bile flow pathways are functioning. Elevated levels may be seen with liver or bile duct problems (such as impaired bile flow) or with increased breakdown of red blood cel
- 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 found in low concentrations and serves as an indicator of liver function and health. Abnormally high or low levels may indicate liver disease or blood-related conditions.
How to prepare
First-morning urine is recommended for better accuracy. Avoid any substances that could affect urine color (e.g., certain medications).
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get the results?
This test provides instant results. After dipping the test strip into your urine sample, you will visually compare the color change on the strip to the provided color chart to determine your levels immediately.
What does it mean if bilirubin is found in my urine?
Bilirubin is a yellow pigment formed during the breakdown of red blood cells. While small amounts are normal in blood, its presence in urine typically indicates that the liver is not properly filtering or processing it.
