Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

The Direct (Conjugated) Bilirubin Test gives you a detailed look at how well your liver is handling one of its most important cleanup jobs. Think of your liver as a sophisticated recycling center that processes yellow waste (called bilirubin) left behind when old red blood cells break down naturally in your body. This test specifically measures the "processed" bilirubin – the waste that your liver has successfully packaged and prepared for removal through your bile and digestive system, much like how a factory packages products for safe shipping.

When this test shows elevated levels, it typically signals that something is interfering with your liver's ability to move processed waste out of your body – perhaps a blocked bile duct (like a clogged drain), liver cell damage, or conditions like hepatitis or gallstones. What makes this test particularly valuable is that it helps distinguish between different types of liver issues: whether the problem stems from your liver cells themselves or from blockages in the pathways that carry waste away. Combined with other liver tests, it gives your healthcare provider crucial clues about what's happening inside your body's most hardworking organ, helping them determine the best path forward for your health.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with liver symptoms, jaundice, suspected bile duct problems, or anyone needing comprehensive liver function assessment.

Questions

  • Direct (conjugated) bilirubin has been processed by the liver and is ready for elimination, while indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin hasn't been processed yet. Elevated direct bilirubin suggests liver or bile duct problems.
  • Common causes include bile duct obstruction (gallstones, tumors), liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis), certain medications, genetic conditions, or problems with bile flow within the liver.
  • While it indicates a problem with liver function or bile flow, the severity depends on the underlying cause. Some conditions are easily treatable, while others require ongoing management.
  • Yes, many medications can cause cholestatic liver injury or interfere with bile flow, leading to elevated direct bilirubin. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements.
  • Treatment depends on the underlying cause - it may involve removing bile duct obstructions, treating liver disease, adjusting medications, or managing underlying conditions affecting liver function.
  • Yes, isolated elevation of direct bilirubin specifically suggests problems with bile excretion or liver cell function and warrants further investigation to determine the underlying cause.

How to prepare

Fast for 8-12 hours before blood collection if requested by healthcare provider. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before testing. Inform provider of all medications and supplements as some may affect results.

After the test

Address underlying causes of elevated direct bilirubin through appropriate medical treatment. May include bile duct procedures, medication adjustments, lifestyle modifications, or treatment of underlying liver conditions. Work with hepatologists or gastroenterologists for complex cases.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show direct bilirubin levels compared to normal ranges. Elevated levels may indicate bile duct obstruction, liver cell damage, or cholestatic conditions. Results interpreted alongside other liver function tests for comprehensive assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.
