Hello,
With the question “Is the total Bilirubin test index 21.73 umol/L okay? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Bilirubin is a yellow pigment, produced during the degradation of red blood cells, excreted in bile, a small part from cytochrome, myoglobin and nitric oxide synthase .
For adults, children - adolescents, Bilirubin test aims to:
Diagnose and monitor liver - bile-related diseases such as: Gallstones, cholecystitis, hepatitis, liver cancer, cancer Pancreatic cancer,... Timely detection of gallbladder infection, gallstones,... Evaluation of sickle cell disease or other diseases causing other hemolytic anemia or blood allergy received from a blood transfusion. Detect an inherited disease such as Gilbert's syndrome (a disease that affects the liver's ability to process bilirubin). The reference range of the total Bilirubin test in the blood is less than 21L. Thus, the concentration of this test in your blood is higher than the reference level, but not significantly. You need to combine with clinical examination and do other necessary tests to get more accurate conclusions.
For more accurate monitoring of blood Bilirubin test in particular and medical examination in general, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for examination.
If you still have questions about the total Bilirubin test index, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
