Hello and welcome to HCM,
Urobilinogen is a by product of hemoglobin formed in the liver and released into the intestine.
The soluble part is excreted in the urine and a part of it is excreted in the stool.
Absence of urobilinogen in urine is a normal finding and it does not signify any serious problem.
Thanks and take care
