Indirect bilirubin

Human health also needs good protection, especially for some office workers, whose daily lifestyle is not very good, their diet is irregular, and they often lack sleep. If these situations happen frequently, the body will become weak and it is easy to cause disease. So what is indirect bilirubin? Many people are not very clear about it.

Many people don’t know much about indirect bilirubin, and don’t know how to treat it when it occurs. There are some solutions to this type of problem, so don’t worry too much when it occurs, but you must actively treat it.

Indirect bilirubin:

Indirect bilirubin (IBIL) is mainly derived from the destruction of red blood cells, and the bilirubin that has not undergone glucuronidation in the liver is called indirect bilirubin. Indirect bilirubin can be converted into direct bilirubin after being metabolized by the liver, and then discharged into the bile duct with bile and finally excreted through the feces. In general, high levels of indirect bilirubin often indicate liver disease.

Three major hazards:

1. If red blood cells are destroyed too much and too much indirect bilirubin is produced, the liver cannot completely convert it into direct bilirubin, which may cause hemolytic jaundice. Especially when this happens, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment. For details, please click our expert consultation for consultation.

2. Bilirubin is the waste product of scarlet pigment metabolism in red blood cells in the blood. Any stagnation in any link can cause jaundice. However, if the bilirubin level in serum is too high, it may indicate abnormalities such as liver disease or bile duct obstruction. The level of serum bilirubin indicates the severity of the abnormality.

3. When liver cells are damaged or diseased, bilirubin cannot be converted into bile normally, or liver cells swell, the bile ducts in the liver are compressed, bile secretion is blocked, and bilirubin in the blood increases. At this time, hepatocellular jaundice occurs. Once a tumor or tuberculosis occurs in the extrahepatic bile duct system, the bile duct will be blocked, bile cannot be secreted smoothly, and obstructive jaundice occurs.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of indirect bilirubin. Its appearance has a great impact on the liver, and it also has many harms. Therefore, when treating it, it must be done in a timely manner, otherwise it will pose a great threat to your own health, and you must pay attention to this point.
