What does stb mean? Medically.

In the medical field, STB refers to one of the biochemical indexes of liver function, which is called serum total bilirubin. Total bilirubin is metabolized by heme after the death of red blood cells, and will be transformed in the liver and excreted. If there is a problem with liver function, total bilirubin will accumulate in the body, leading to an increase in serum STB level. Therefore, the detection of STB can help doctors to evaluate the function and health of liver, and it is also one of the important indexes to judge the severity and treatment effect of liver disease.

The determination of STB requires a certain amount of blood samples for detection, which is usually one of the routine examinations when diagnosing liver diseases, biliary tract diseases, anemia and other related diseases. If the level of STB in the patient's serum is abnormally high, it indicates that there may be problems such as liver disease, bile duct obstruction, cholestasis and hemolytic anemia. At this time, doctors need to determine the treatment plan according to the specific etiology and clinical manifestations, such as improving liver function, relieving anemia symptoms and reducing biliary tract pressure.

In order to maintain healthy liver function and normal STB level, people should pay attention to the regularity of diet and living habits and avoid harmful behaviors such as excessive drinking, eating greasy food and smoking. In addition, we should increase proper exercise and drinking water to ensure adequate sleep and rest time every day. If patients with liver disease or other chronic diseases already exist, they need to receive standardized treatment and management according to the doctor's instructions to actively prevent complications.
