Indirect bilirubin

Indirect bilirubin (IBIL) is mainly caused by the destruction of red blood cells, and it is called indirect bilirubin that has not been glucuronidized in the liver. Indirect bilirubin can be converted into direct bilirubin after being metabolized by the liver, which is excreted into the biliary tract with bile, and finally excreted in the stool. In general, high indirect bilirubin often indicates liver disease.
