Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Urobilinogen comes from the transformation of bilirubin, a product of the breakdown of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Urobilinogen is normally eliminated in the stool after passing through the liver and gallbladder.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hemoglobin is broken down into heme, which is converted to biliverdin, and finally into unconjugated bilirubin (which is not water-soluble). In the bloodstream, unconjugated bilirubin binds with serum proteins-most commonly albumin. The unconjugated bilirubin is then taken up by the liver.
