Causes of positive urobilinogen

summary

Urobilinogen (fully known as urobilinogen) is usually analyzed together with the results of Urine Bilirubin examination. It can diagnose liver cell jaundice, hemolytic disease, obstructive jaundice and other diseases. Now let's understand the cause of positive urobilinogen.

Causes of positive urobilinogen

1. If suffering from hemolytic jaundice or other hemolytic diseases, it will cause excessive destruction of red blood cells in the body, which will produce a large number of bilirubin and urobilinogen. Excessive urobilinogen is excreted through the kidney, and the urobilinogen in the urine increases, which can be strongly positive.

2. Suffering from viral hepatitis, toxic hepatitis, portal cirrhosis, congestive heart failure and sepsis, due to liver dysfunction, the normal amount of urobilinogen absorbed from the intestine can not be used and re discharged through the biliary tract, so the urobilinogen in the urine also increases. Urobilinogen test is one of the important indexes to differentiate obstructive jaundice from hemolytic jaundice and hepatocellular jaundice.

In addition, high fever, cardiac insufficiency, constipation and so on can also make the urobilinogen slightly increased.

matters needing attention

Positive urobilinogen is harmful to the health of the urinary system. After we know the cause of positive urobilinogen, we must seriously prevent and treat it.
