A member asked:
Can concentration of urine affect the dipstick for bilirubin when barely drinking shows + but drank 32 oz during 6 hr period now no trace?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dilution: by diluting your urine you have diminished what actually may be bilirubin. Urine dipsticks are only a guide to what may be present. I would suggest repeating the dipstick without dilution and if positive for bilirubin a blood test may is indicated.
