Service Providers for Urine for Urobilinogen
The Urine for Urobilinogen test detects urobilinogen, a substance formed from the breakdown of bilirubin in the intestines, which is excreted in urine. It helps assess liver function and diagnose conditions like liver disease or hemolytic anemia. A urine sample is collected, and a dipstick or chemical reagent is used to detect urobilinogen levels. No special preparation is required. Elevated urobilinogen levels can indicate liver damage or increased red blood cell breakdown, while low levels may suggest liver dysfunction. Certain medications can affect results. Normal activities can be resumed after the test.
