What Is A Fractured Bilirubin Test?
Question: What is a fractured bilirubin test
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I suppose you mean fractioned bilirubin test. Bilirubin is a pigment produced by liver cells and raised levels indicate hepatic or biliary dysfunction.
It is measured as total bilirubin which has two fractions; conjugated bilirubin (water soluble component) and unconjugated bilirubin (fat soluble component)
I hope this answers your query effectively.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
