A kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) X-ray helps to visualize the organs of urinary and gastrointestinal systems. It is performed to determine an intestinal blockage, foreign objects in the stomach, tumors, kidney stones and gallstones. It can also provide information regarding the size, shape, and position of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. This X-ray is advised to people complaining of persistent or acute abdominal pain. A KUB X-ray is primary evaluation of the urinary tract before performing any other diagnostic procedures.
It is then excreted from the body through bile into the intestines. Bilirubin testing is often used as a part of liver function tests to assess the health and functioning of the liver.
There are two types of bilirubin that are commonly measured: total bilirubin and direct bilirubin.
Total bilirubin measures the combined levels of unconjugated (indirect) and conjugated (direct) bilirubin in the blood. Unconjugated bilirubin is the form that is produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. It is transported to the liver, where it undergoes a process called conjugation, converting it into a water-soluble form known as direct bilirubin. Direct bilirubin is then excreted from the body through bile into the intestines.
Direct bilirubin specifically measures the amount of bilirubin that has been conjugated and is ready for excretion. Elevated levels of direct bilirubin may indicated impairment in the liver's ability to properly process and excrete bilirubin, suggesting the presence of liver disease or bile duct obstruction.
By measuring both total and direct bilirubin, healthcare professionals can gain insights into various liver conditions, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or gallstones. Monitoring changes in bilirubin levels can help diagnose and manage these conditions.
