What Causes The Elevated Level Of Bilirubin In Urine?

Hi, I just got my lab results back for a C/C urine and the results were that I have a large amount of bilirubin in my urine. I asked my PA what could be causing this and she said she didn t know. She ordered a liver panel and those tests came back normal. Do you know what can be causing this?

Thanks for posting your question on HCM.
Age, gender, alcohol intake not mentioned.
Information is incomplete like do you have yellowish discoloration of the skin and the eyes or the pain abdomen or loss of appetite, itching etc.

Normally urine does not contain Bilirubin

Increased levels of bilirubin in the urine may be due to:

Hepatitis (inflammation of liver), obstructive jaundice (impaired flow of bile into the intestine) cirrhosis of liver, gallstones in the biliary tract, tumors of the liver and gall bladder.

You are advised to consult your doctor to conduct clinical examination and to find out the exact cause of elevated level of bilirubin in your urine.

Take care of your health.
