If you are taking drugs such as reserpine, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, etc., these drugs have greater damage to liver function, liver cells are damaged, and the concentration of bilirubin in the body increases, leading to positive urine bilirubin.
2. Pathological causes: acute viral hepatitis, hepatocellular jaundice, bile duct obstruction, acute cholecystitis and other liver and gallbladder diseases, will seriously impair liver function, in the long run, a large number of hepatocytes are destroyed, resulting in elevated bilirubin, which is discharged through the urine, resulting in positive urine bilirubin.
