Hi, iI have elevated bilirubin and also positive for ANA, what are the possible reasons for this? my Dr wants me to see a ruematologist because I also have frequent lung infections, have had urinary tract infections and am currently very tired with brochitis. JT
Hello, It seems that you have a high chance of having systemic lupus erythematous because antinuclear antibodies (ANA) positivity is specific for SHE. And as far as elevated bilirubin concerned, it means that you infected with hepatitis virus. So please take rest and eat nutritious food to give rest your liver. And certainly, SHE generally causes bronchitis and other diseases. So you should see a rheumatologist for a complete clinical check-up and necessary investigation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
