Question

If a specimen is found to have large quantities of bilirubin, then it should be stored away from ________, which causes the breakdown of bilirubin, until further testing.

Answer 1

Answer: light

Step-by-step explanation:

A bilirubin in urine test measures the levels of bilirubin in your urine. Normally, urine doesn't have any bilirubin. If there is bilirubin n your urine, it may be an early sign of a liver condition. Bilirubin is a yellow substance that your body makes during the normal process of breaking down red blood cells. Your liver uses bilirubin to make bile, a fluid that helps you digest food.

A healthy liver removes most of the bilirubin from your body. But if there is a problem with your liver, bilirubin can build up in your blood and get into your urine.
