Urine for Bile Salt / Bile Pigment

Urine for Bile Salt and Bile Pigment is a diagnostic test used to detect abnormal levels of bile components in the urine. Bile salts and bile pigments (such as bilirubin) are normally processed by the liver and excreted through the digestive system.

Their presence in urine may indicate liver dysfunction, bile duct obstruction, or conditions such as jaundice. This test is often used as part of routine urine examination or in the evaluation of liver-related symptoms.

This test is recommended for individuals with:

• Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
• Dark-coloured urine
• Fatigue or weakness
• Abdominal pain
• Suspected liver disease
• Abnormal liver function test results
