Prognosis For High Or Low Levels Of Urobilinogen In Urine

The prognosis for high or increased levels of urobilinogen in urine can be deadly and suspected increased levels is serious and requires immediate testing and further diagnosis.

Increased urobilinogen in the body can indicate a number of liver diseases such as hepatitis, hemolytic anemia or cirrhosis. Liver disease is deadly if left untreated and should be treated as soon as possible.

Treatment for low or high amounts will differ depending on the cause of the abnormal levels so seeking the counsel of a qualified medical professional is important.

The prognosis for a low or decreased level of urobilinogen depends on the underlying cause of the decreased amounts.

Decreased levels can cause a blockage of bile passage and failed bile production and like hemolysis a reduction of urobilinogen in urine can cause catastrophic health issues.

If the decrease is a result of taking antibiotics the doctor may make changes in your prescription which may raise the level back to normal.
