Why the Rise in Urobilinogen Levels?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

1. Hemolysis and Red Blood Cells: Hemolysis, the breakdown of red blood cells, could contribute to increased urobilinogen. Investigating the possibility of hemolytic conditions is crucial.

2. Medication Influence: Certain medications may impact urobilinogen levels. A review of current medications is essential to identify potential contributors.

3. Liver and Gallbladder Concerns: Elevated urobilinogen may indicate liver or gallbladder issues, suggesting the need for a thorough evaluation of liver function and bile secretion.

Thanks
