What is a Serum Bilirubin (Total) Test?
The serum bilirubin (total) test measures the total amount of bilirubin in the blood, which is a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells. Elevated bilirubin levels can indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis.
What is Serum Bilirubin (Total) Report Format?
The report shows the total bilirubin level in the blood, typically measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), compared to a reference range to determine if the result is normal or abnormal.

Parameters to Consider in Serum Bilirubin (Total) Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
Total Bilirubin Level | Elevated levels suggest liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis. Low levels are generally not a concern. |
Guidelines for Serum Bilirubin (Total) Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Test Results | Present the total bilirubin level with the reference range. |
Interpretation | Provide context on whether the bilirubin level is within normal limits or indicates liver or blood disorders. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
High Total Bilirubin Levels | May indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis. |
Normal Total Bilirubin Levels | Suggest normal liver function and no significant hemolysis. |
Serum Bilirubin (Total) Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
Total Bilirubin | High bilirubin levels suggest liver or bile duct issues; normal levels indicate healthy liver function and no significant hemolysis. Further testing may be required based on the results. |
