Bilirubin is a substance made during the process of breaking down old red blood cells. It mainly exists in two forms in the blood: Unconjugated or indirect bilirubin and conjugated or direct bilirubin. Indirect bilirubin will be converted into direct bilirubin by your liver. A blockage in the liver or bile duct is often the cause of an increase in direct bilirubin.
