Question

I'm a bit concerned about my bilirubin level because it's been at 1.4 for the last 5 years, but I never paid much attention to it, and my doctor hasn't brought it up either. I take ursocol tablets daily. Do you know why my bilirubin level might be staying the same for so long?

A persistently elevated bilirubin level of 1.4 mgdL for 5 years, despite taking Ursocol (Ursodeoxycholic acid), may indicate a underlying condition such as Gilbert's syndrome, a benign liver condition, or other liver issues like primary biliary cirrhosis; consult your doctor to discuss further testing, such as liver function tests, ultrasound,
