Urine bilirubin 2+

Not many people have medical knowledge, and even fewer can understand examination and test reports. When many people go for a physical examination, the doctor will prescribe some examination lists based on the symptoms. Only after the examination can the type and severity of the disease be confirmed. Bilirubin can not only be detected through blood tests, but also through urine tests. Let’s understand what urine bilirubin 2+ means.

1. Overview

Bilirubin is a very common metabolic product of the body. Excessive bilirubin in the body is toxic to the body and can cause irreversible damage to the brain or nervous system. However, a small amount of bilirubin is beneficial to the body. There are many reasons why patients have high bilirubin. It may be due to liver disease, not hepatitis or cirrhosis, or it may be due to extra-hepatic diseases, such as gallstones or cholecystitis. In addition, hemolytic jaundice can easily cause patients to have hyperbilirubinemia.

2. Steps/Methods:

1. Bilirubin is a very important metabolite of the body. Excessive bilirubin is mainly seen in some diseases, such as liver diseases, such as acute hepatitis, acute liver necrosis or cirrhosis, which may lead to increased bilirubin. In addition, if blood type incompatibility occurs during blood transfusion and hemolysis occurs, high bilirubin may occur easily.

2. Common extrahepatic factors, such as cholecystitis or gallstones. In addition, hemolytic jaundice can easily lead to increased bilirubin. Sometimes newborns are also prone to elevated bilirubin levels, mainly due to blood type incompatibility between mother and child or congenital bile duct malformations in the child.

3. In addition, if the patient's bile duct is blocked, the bilirubin level may also increase, for example, if the patient has liver cancer or pancreatic cancer. There are many reasons why patients may experience elevated bilirubin, mainly due to hemolysis or bile duct obstruction.

3. Notes:

Elevated bilirubin can include increased direct bilirubin and increased indirect bilirubin. There are many reasons for increased bilirubin, mainly due to bile duct obstruction or hemolysis in the patient.
