Urobilinuria

Urobilinuria is a condition in which excess amounts of urobilin, a pigment produced by the breakdown of hemoglobin in the blood, are found in the urine. Urobilinuria can be caused by a variety of causes, including liver disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease, and certain medications.

With urobilinuria, large amounts of urobilin may be found in the urine. This may cause the urine to change color and have an unpleasant odor. In addition, urobilinuria may indicate the presence of serious diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver or kidney cancer.

To diagnose urobilinuria, a urine test is necessary. Normally, urobilinogen (the precursor of urobilin) ​​is excreted in the urine in small quantities. With urobilinuria, urobilinogen levels may be elevated.

Treatment for urobilinuria depends on the cause of its occurrence. For example, if you have liver disease, you may need to take medications that will help reduce the level of bilirubin in the blood and thereby reduce the level of urobilinuria. Treatment of the underlying disease that led to urobilinuria may also be necessary.

In general, urobilinuria is a symptom of serious illness and requires immediate medical attention.

Urobilins are waste products of our body cells that contribute to their destruction. They are formed during the breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates and are excreted from the body through urine and feces. But few people know how this composition is formed and what Urobilinogen is in general. And then we remember only the end result
