What is the reason for weak positive urobilinogen in women?

Weakly positive urobilinogen in women is a relatively common physical condition, and there are many reasons for this condition. It is usually a phenomenon caused by liver disease. When there is liver dysfunction, it is easy to cause abnormalities in urobilinogen and weakly positive urobilinogen. You need to pay more attention to observation.

What is the reason for weak positive urobilinogen in women?

There are many reasons for weak positive results:

First, when suffering from hemolytic jaundice or other hemolytic diseases, the excretion of bilirubin increases, and the bilirubin is converted into urobilinogen in the intestine. The excess urobilinogen is reabsorbed by the intestinal mucosa and returns to the liver. The liver cannot convert it all into bilirubin or the liver is damaged at the same time. The excess urobilinogen is excreted from the body through the kidneys, so the increase in urobilinogen in the urine is positive or weakly positive.

Second, abnormal liver function may impair the absorption of urobilinogen, causing excessive urobilinogen to be excreted in the urine, resulting in a weakly positive urobilinogen result.

Third, malaria, constipation, severe burns, heart failure, etc. can also cause weak positive urobilinogen.

Fourth, under some normal circumstances, urobilinogen may also be weakly positive, such as after a meal. A negative result indicates normal, while a weak positive result indicates a slight abnormality. However, this is relatively common and does not matter much, so you don’t need to worry too much.

A positive urobilinogen alone does not have much diagnostic significance. Generally, bilirubin is excreted from the bile duct and then enters and exits the intestine, where it is reabsorbed by the intestine and enters the blood. When the blood flows through the kidneys, urobilinogen is excreted from the urine.

If there are other discomforts, such as yellowing of the skin and sclera, itching, discomfort in the liver area, nausea, etc., the possibility of hepatobiliary disease should be considered, and further examinations such as liver function, B-ultrasound, etc. are recommended.

The source of urobilinogen is the liver, which may indicate obstruction in the bile duct. Although urobilinogen and bilirubin are used to determine the type of jaundice, mild urobilinogen is not a problem!

Suggestions: It is recommended to test liver function and five auxiliary tests for hepatitis B. Check your total bilirubin level and eat a light diet. Remember to drink plenty of water and check again.
