Question
Got my blood test results and I'm a bit worried. It shows high bilirubin and low levels of vitamin D and B12. Can you help me understand what all this means? Should I be concerned about these results, and what steps should I consider taking next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Elevated bilirubin levels may indicate liver dysfunction or hemolysis, while low Vitamin D and B12 levels can cause fatigue, weakness, and neurological issues; consider consulting your healthcare provider to discuss potential underlying causes, such as liver disease, anemia, or malabsorption, and to determine the best course of action for addressing these deficiencies and abnormal lab results.
