What is the Bilirubin Fluid Test?

The Bilirubin Fluid Test measures bilirubin levels in body fluids such as ascitic, pleural, or other collected fluids. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. Measuring bilirubin in fluid can help identify bile leaks, liver-related conditions, or causes of fluid accumulation.

Who should take this test?

• Patients with fluid accumulation in body cavities.
• Individuals with suspected bile leakage.
• Patients with liver or gallbladder disorders.
• People undergoing evaluation of ascitic or pleural fluid.
• Doctor-advised assessment of fluid abnormalities.

Preparation & Test Process

How to interpret results

The test reports the level of bilirubin in body fluid.

High levels may indicate bile leakage, liver disease, or bile duct injury.
Normal levels suggest absence of significant bilirubin in the fluid.

Results should be interpreted along with clinical findings and other fluid analysis tests.
