Hi, This is Raja. I am 32 years old. I have a long history of allergies like food intolerance, sneezing,breathlessness, eczema. When i was 18 i was diagnosed with fatty liver. I am a teetotaller. Recently performed liver function test. The bilirubin is at 3. The ultrasound scan showed liver as normal. I have no jaundice. Doctor prescribed liv 52. Is high bilirubin dangerous?. What should be my next course of action
Hi, high bilirubin is not usually related with allergies, but to firstly calm you I'd say that the value above mentioned 3 by you is not at all dangerous for you. It seems for more that you have normal transaminase and no problems with the biliary tree. I'd recommends next time when you'll repeat bilirubin to have the two fractions direct and indirect done, to judge a little more over the causes. Indirect fraction may be increased even in some blood diseases and in case a hologram with the reticulocytes count would be next step, to exclude them.
