Know your Urine Bilirubin. Know your health.
Test your Urine Bilirubin and 100+ other biomarkers in a single blood draw.
Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced when the body breaks down old red blood cells. It is not normally found in urine. When it appears, it suggests the liver or bile ducts are not clearing bilirubin properly, as seen in hepatitis, bile duct obstruction, or other liver disease. Urine bilirubin can turn positive before jaundice becomes visible, making it an early clue to liver trouble. A positive result is typically evaluated with liver enzyme and bilirubin blood tests.
Urine Bilirubin isn't sold on its own. It comes in a routine urinalysis, about $45. A fuller workup adds Vitamin D ($75), hs-CRP ($69), ApoB ($50), and ApoA1 ($50). You can test Urine Bilirubin and 100 other biomarkers for $190 as part of an Empirical membership.
Empirical is FSA/HSA eligible, so you can pay with pre-tax dollars. Fast for 8-12 hours beforehand for the most accurate lipid and metabolic results, and expect results in days rather than weeks.
