URINE FOR UROBILINOGEN

Normal urine contains some urobilinogen. Too much urobilinogen in urine may be a sign of a liver disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, or certain types of anemia.

Urobilinogen is normally present in urine at concentrations up to 1.0 mg/dL. A result of 2.0 mg/dL represents the transition from normal to abnormal, and the patient and/or urine specimen should be evaluated further for hemolytic and hepatitis disease.
