Attached are my LFT reports. I see that my bilirubin level is much higher than the normal range. What should I do to reduce the bilirubin levels? Should I use any medication? Currently, I am on statin medication for high cholesterol.

High bilirubin levels can occur due to liver inflammation, fatty liver, or medication effects, including statins. It is important not to stop your statin without your doctors advice. To help lower bilirubin, avoid alcohol, drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily, and eat a liver-friendly diet with fruits and vegetables. Avoid oily and processed foods. You should share this report with your doctor for review. You can book a Liver Function Test (LFT) repeat and Ultrasound Whole Abdomen to check liver health and guide treatment.

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a Lipid Profile Test Test

View allI have been experiencing a cold for the last five years, and my doctor advised that I may need to manage it long term. My recent blood tests show Hb 13.8 gm, TLC 16,100/cu mm, Neutrophils 87, Lymphocytes 10, Eosinophils 1, Basophils 0, and ESR 25 mm in the first hour. My biochemistry report shows SGPT/ALT 62.6 U/L and SGOT/AST 71.2 U/L. The doctor has recommended a work up for eosinophilia. Could you please review these results and advise on the next steps?

Sir, my direct bilirubin is high and I have occasional right rib cage pain and yellow stool. I have tested LFT and in that report direct bilirubin is high, GGT and ALP are normal, and AST and ALT are slightly high. What can this be? Is it bile acid synthesis disorder where direct bilirubin is high with normal GGT and ALP? I am attaching all my reports including fibroscan which shows 8.12 kPa.

Sir, I recently underwent a package of various tests, and my liver function test results show values outside the reference range. I do not observe any symptoms in my body, and I do not consume alcohol. Could you please guide me on what this might indicate and if I need any further evaluation?
