Bilirubin - Indirect (Unconjugated) Test

$33.00 AUD

Experiencing unexplained yellowing symptoms or wondering if your body is breaking down old blood cells efficiently and maintaining healthy blood turnover?

Assess red blood cell breakdown with our Bilirubin Indirect Unconjugated test. This important analysis measures unconjugated bilirubin levels to evaluate hemolysis, detect genetic conditions like Gilbert's syndrome, and assess the balance between red blood cell destruction and liver processing.

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

Think of the Bilirubin Indirect (Unconjugated) Test as your body's recycling monitor. When your red blood cells reach the end of their natural lifespan, they break down and create a yellow waste product called bilirubin - it's like the leftover material from your body's cellular cleanup crew. This test specifically measures the "raw" form of bilirubin before your liver has had a chance to process it, giving us insight into whether your red blood cells are breaking down at a normal pace or if something is causing them to break down too quickly.

This test is particularly helpful if you're experiencing unexplained yellowing of your skin or eyes (jaundice), unusual fatigue, or if you have a family history of blood disorders. Elevated levels often point to conditions where red blood cells are being destroyed faster than normal - like certain types of anemia or genetic conditions such as Gilbert's syndrome, which is generally harmless but can cause mild jaundice during times of stress or illness. What makes this test valuable is that it helps your healthcare provider determine whether jaundice or other symptoms are related to blood disorders rather than liver problems, since these two types of issues require very different approaches to treatment and management.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with unexplained jaundice, suspected hemolytic conditions, family history of blood disorders, or anyone needing assessment of red blood cell breakdown patterns.

Questions

  • Elevated unconjugated bilirubin typically indicates increased red blood cell breakdown (hemolysis), genetic conditions like Gilbert's syndrome, or situations where the liver can't keep up with processing bilirubin.
  • Unconjugated bilirubin is the raw form produced from red blood cell breakdown, while conjugated bilirubin is the processed form ready for elimination, indicating different types of problems.
  • Gilbert's syndrome is a common, benign genetic condition where the liver processes bilirubin slightly less efficiently, causing mild jaundice during stress, illness, or fasting.
  • Yes, hemolytic anemia causes rapid red blood cell breakdown, producing more unconjugated bilirubin than the liver can process, leading to elevated levels and often jaundice.
  • Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, jaundice, dark urine, enlarged spleen, and sometimes shortness of breath due to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity.
  • Not always - conditions like Gilbert's syndrome are benign, but elevated levels can also indicate serious blood disorders that require proper evaluation and treatment.

How to prepare

No special preparation required, though fasting may be recommended for most accurate results. Inform healthcare provider of all medications, as some can affect red blood cell breakdown or bilirubin processing.

After the test

Address elevated unconjugated bilirubin through appropriate hematological evaluation, genetic testing if indicated, and management of underlying blood disorders. Work with hematologists for comprehensive blood disorder assessment and treatment.

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 unconjugated bilirubin levels compared to normal ranges. Elevated levels may indicate hemolytic anemia, genetic conditions like Gilbert's syndrome, or excessive red blood cell breakdown requiring further evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most collection centres accept walk-ins. Some may require a booking - check details when you click on your chosen location.

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.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.

They’re the highly trained professionals who take your blood sample - with a steady hand and a sharp needle. They love blood, but don’t worry… they’re not vampires. Just legends who make blood tests quick, clean, and (almost) painless.

Some of our tests include Urine, Stool, Saliva and more. Each test will have a clear description on what sample you will need to give and instructions on how.
