# Bilirubin, Total

> This test measures the amount of bilirubin, a yellow substance produced when old red blood cells break down, in your blood. It helps doctors understand how well your liver is functioning or if there is a blockage in the bile ducts, which often causes yellowing of the skin or eyes known as jaundice.
