Your total bilirubin (1.4) is slightly above normal may be mild jaundice. Direct (0.4) and indirect (1.0) values are not very high. This could be due to mild liver stress, dehydration, or recent illness. Stay hydrated, avoid oily food, and rest well. Repeat LFT if symptoms continue

Question

Hi, my eyes have a yellowish color. I suffered from jaundice about 10 years ago. However, my recent blood report shows no signs of jaundice. I am wondering why my eyes are still not white. What is the right course of action, and should I consult an eye specialist or a general physician? Please advise.

Question

I just completed a 7 day alcohol detox. My recent blood test shows: ALT: 61 (normal range 1 to 33) AST: 69 (normal range 14 to 34) I am very worried about this. I have not had alcohol for 8 days and plan to continue staying sober. As I maintain sobriety, is it possible for these liver enzyme levels to return to the normal range and for me to live a healthy life? I have uploaded my blood report for reference.
