My husband was in the hospital a week ago with sepsis. Went in with bilirubin 6 and white blood cells 23000. Had blood work today and bilirubin is now 7 and alk phos 507. His diagnosis was cronic prostitis, and is on cypro for 6 wks. My concern is why is the bilirubin going up.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  Your bilirubin level is very high.  You should go for complete liver function test.  And blood peripheral smear examination. You may have obstructive, hemolytic or hepatocellular jaundice.  Go for testing and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
