fractionated bilirubin - cp
Posted: Apr 11, 2011
Would this be fractionating? I can find fractionated bilirubin but no reference to fractionating.
"At this time you might want to consider fractionating her bilirubin."
Thanks

[ In Reply To ..]Whether a bilirubin of 25 is significant requires a full history and physical to be done including your age, past/present/treated/untreated medical problems, risk factors for liver disease (e.g. alcohol intake), medications, allergies, etc. etc. Once that is done, one has to testing. The best first step is to do a FRACTIONATED bilirubin which takes the total bilirubin and divides it in to indirect and direct bilirubin. In general, a predominantly high DIRECT bilirubin tends to suggest the liver's FUNCTION is fine, but there is a blockage somewhere (e.g. a stone) which is not allowing the bilirubin to get in to the system properly or there is no blockage but the bile is STAYING in the liver and not getting out.
