The test results will show measurement values for the bilirubin in your bloodstream. There are two different types of bilirubin in your bloodstream: the bilirubin that goes to your liver for processing, and the bilirubin that comes out of your liver. Your test will show these values separately, as well as your total bilirubin. It’ll usually show them as milligrams of bilirubin per deciliter of blood, or mg/dL.
