Subject: can you have excess bilirubin in the urine?

I really don't know. Listen carefully, though, and make sure the doc is not saying "emia" instead of "uria" at the end of it.

Elevated bilirubin disease?
Subject: Elevated bilirubin disease?

I cannot find this disease since I am not sure what the first few letters clearly are, maybe a French name, again not sure.  The patient has an elevated bilirubin, abdominal pain and vomiting.  The doc suspects this disease rather than an obstruction.  The disease s/l Jobear's or Joulbar's or Yolbear's.

I think you're looking for Gilbert syndrome. A French pronunciation would sound like what you're hearing. It's an error in bilirubin metabolism.

urine culture for TB?

I first thought he said this: Probably I need to obtain the urine for a kidney culture.  Then when I listened this morning it sounded like TB?  Is this correct? 
Yes, you can test urine for TB. sm
Subject: Yes, you can test urine for TB. sm

Active Tuberculosis
To diagnose TB of the respiratory tract, 3 to 5 sputum specimens are collected first thing in the morning on different days when they are most likely to contain the most mycobacteria. If extrapulmonary TB is suspected, samples are collected based upon where in the body the infection is likely to be. Multiple samples of gastric (stomach) washings/aspirates or urine may be collected and submitted to the laboratory. Sometimes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), biopsied tissue, or other body fluids are also collected.
