- The material for testing is blood.
- The patient does not need to fast. It is recommended to drink a glass of water approximately 30 minutes before the examination.
Important
Factors that may affect test results:
Dyslipidemias, clinical conditions associated with elevated total protein levels > 15g/dl.
Medications, supplements, and other substances: Indican, Indocyanine green (a tracer used in imaging techniques).
Note:
Dehydration, diet, alcohol, intense exercise, or sample collection method may also affect results. Results should be considered in conjunction with other data, such as clinical symptoms, results of other tests, or clinical diagnosis.
Interference from medications or endogenous substances may affect the results.
A detailed list of interfering substances is available from the laboratory upon request (manufacturer's instructions).

Description
Total bilirubin is produced during the breakdown of hemoglobin (from red blood cells). Outside the liver, it is transported by albumin (unconjugated bilirubin). It is excreted from the liver into the intestines in bile (conjugated bilirubin); it gives stools their color. When it is not excreted into the intestines, it enters the bloodstream in increased amounts, giving the whites of the eyes and skin a yellow tint (jaundice). Newborns always experience mild jaundice in the first few days of life.
Importance of the examination: confirmation of the diagnosis of jaundice and monitoring of its severity in newborns with prolonged and intense jaundice.
Abnormal values: accelerated or increased destruction of red blood cells, diseases of the liver parenchyma (tumors, inflammation, cirrhosis, congestion, poisoning), bile stasis, e.g. caused by bile duct stones, cholangitis.

The test is performed using a spectrophotometric method.
Ordering the test constitutes consent to its execution using this method.
