Q: what can cause repeated bilirubinuria but repeated negative bilirubin on blood test? not taking any medication?

: Urine has yellow color because of the presence of bilirubin in the urine, i.e bilirubinuria. So bilirubinuria is normal, the yellow color become darker when the urine is concentrated and lighter or no color (like water) when the urine is very diluted.
