Urobilinogen
text:
Urobilinogen is a yellow by-product of bilirubin reduction. It is formed in the intestines by the bacterial enzyme bilirubin reductase. About half of the urobilinogen formed is reabsorbed and taken up via the portal vein to the liver, enters circulation and is excreted by the kidney. Increased amounts of bilirubin are formed in hemolysis, which generates increased urobilinogen in the gut. In liver disease, the intrahepatic urobilinogen cycle is inhibited also increasing urobilinogen levels. Urob
