A member asked:
Hi doctor does bilirubin level increase before there are symtoms and can be detected by blood test or no ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bilirubin: Yes, bilirubin levels in the blood begin to rise before you see yellowing of the skin and eyes, and also before neurological problems begin. This the reason we do bilirubin blood tests on newborns, to catch it before more severe problems arise.
