Urine Urobilinogen Test
About the Urine Urobilinogen Test
The Urine Urobilinogen Test measures urobilinogen levels in urine, a byproduct of bilirubin breakdown by gut bacteria that’s normally reabsorbed and excreted by kidneys, with normal range 0.1-1.8 mg/dL. Elevated levels (>2.0 mg/dL) indicate increased bilirubin production from hemolysis or liver dysfunction impairing excretion, while absent urobilinogen suggests bile duct obstruction. Doctors recommend it for jaundice evaluation, liver function assessment, hemolytic anemia screening, and monitoring hepatitis or cirrhosis progression. Through Seviyaar‘s lab tests booking platform and NABL-certified laboratories, patients receive semi-quantitative results (normal/1+/2+/3+/4+) essential for hepatology and hematology diagnosis.
