Bile is a digestive fluid made by the liver. Its main function is to help in the digestion of fats.
Jaundice is a symptom of liver disease. Your damaged liver cells cannot process bilirubin which is why bilirubin is found in the blood.
Elevated conjugated bilirubin levels usually indicate hepatobiliary disease.
If bilirubin is showing in your urine then you may have a liver disease or having an obstruction in the bile ducts.
A bile duct obstruction is when one of the tubes that carries bile between the liver, gallbladder, and small intestine becomes blocked. The most common causes are gallstones and sludge impacting bile ducts.
