Answer:
bilirubin test measures total bilirubin. It can also give you levels of two different types of bilirubin: unconjugated and conjugated. Unconjugated, or indirect, bilirubin is the bilirubin created from red blood cell breakdown. It travels in the blood to the liver.
Explanation:
This test measures the amount of bilirubin in the blood to evaluate a person's liver function or to help diagnose anemias caused by RBC destruction (hemolytic anemia). RBCs normally degrade after about 120 days in circulation. Bilirubin is formed as the liver breaks down and recycles aged red blood cells.
