whats DBIL mean on blood work?

Answer 1

this stand for the direct bilirubin level....

Bilirubin is a yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism (breakdown of the iron in your blood into smaller components)

it causes the yellow coloring of bruises and browning of feces

Total and direct bilirubin are usually measured to screen for or to monitor liver or gall bladder dysfunction.

Answer 2

DBIL refers to direct (or conjugated) bilirubin.
Bilirubin circulates in the bloodstream in two forms:

Indirect (or unconjugated) bilirubin. This form of bilirubin does not dissolve in water (it is insoluble). Indirect bilirubin travels through the bloodstream to the liver, where it is changed into a soluble form (direct or conjugated).
Direct (or conjugated) bilirubin. Direct bilirubin is soluble (it dissolves in water) and is made by the liver from indirect bilirubin.
Total bilirubin (TBIL) and direct bilirubin (DBIL)levels are measured directly in the blood, whereas indirect bilirubin levels are derived from the total and direct bilirubin measurements.

The amounts of both direct and indirect bilirubin can help determine the cause of the excess bilirubin.
Excessive breakdown of red blood cells increases indirect bilirubin levels more than direct bilirubin levels.
Blockage of the bile ducts, such as from gallstones or pancreatic cancer, tends to increase the amount of direct bilirubin more than indirect bilirubin.
In severe liver damage, both direct and indirect bilirubin are elevated.
