Urobilinogen in Hyperbilirubinemia

Urobilinogen increases in unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia but decreases in conjugated because in conjugated (dubin/rotor) it's getting locked up in liver and cannot get to urine/feces?

Does this explain dark urine/light stools in biliary cirrhosis or is that a separate process?

Thanks!
