Urine bilirubin, yet blood is fine!

[Pamina]

Hello,

I had a complete blood panel done, including liver enzymes, total bilirubin, albumin, alt, ast, gamma gt, something hydrogenase,  etc... The whole 9 yards. Everything came up perfect BUT in my urinanalysis, they found a "little bit" of bilirubin. Everything else about the urine is perfect.

I saw my doctor yesterday, and he assures me that considering that all the blood tests are perfect, there is nothing to worry about and that I am FINE. My doctor is usually quite conscientious, so I can not imagine that he would be negligent??

He also palpated my whole abdomen area and said everything was perfect. I feel fine.

Also, I take hydrochlorothiazide (50mg a day). Could that have interfered with the results? ANd if so, why would it interfere with the urine results, but not the blood???

I am not naming all the blood tests that I did, but a lot of them have to do with liver function and they are all perfect, yet I am still worried...

Is it possible to have bilirubin in urine, and normal blood bilirubin? Also, I did the "foam test" at home... (yuck I know). I collected my own urine and shook it to see if there was yellow reluctant foam, which is supposed to indicate bilirubin). There was only white foam, which disappeared right away.

I am quite dehydrated at times (I dont drink enough water, and with the diuretics...) which makes my urine quite dark. It gets a lot lighter when I drink more water. But when I did the test I was quite dehydrated... SO the urine was darker... Could that have influenced the test?

Help!!! I am freaking out!

I am 36 and otherwise healthy... I think!?!?!?!?!

I had similar results of urine/blood tests after seeing the doctor about some digestion issues I was battling.

has anything come of this?  any feedback from the doctor or anyone else?

my urine is clear when I very hyrdated but deep yellow (most tends to sink to the bottom of the bowl) when I am not "very hydrated".

Thanks in advance.

Oh...And also, I took a valium the night before the urinanalysis.. I dont know if that could influence the test also???

Thanks!
