Measures

Conjugated bilirubin.

Why it matters

Bilirubin is produced when red blood cells are broken down. The liver then conjugates it — attaches it to another molecule — to make it water-soluble for excretion.

Measuring the conjugated fraction separately from the total helps describe which part of that process is in question.
