I am not taking alcohol, oils, spices, or outside food since 20th November. At that time, my platelets were around 46k. Now they are over 1 lakh. Suddenly, my total bilirubin increased to 5. I started a Joinex related diet with more liquids, vegetables, and fruits, and I am still on it, but it is not coming down. Today the report shows bilirubin 6.49. What could be the reason and what should I do?

Rising bilirubin despite diet control may indicate post viral hepatitis, liver inflammation, or Gilberts syndrome. Platelet improvement is a good sign, but persistent high bilirubin needs evaluation. Continue hydration, a soft diet, and avoid oily and outside food. Avoid unnecessary medications and alcohol. You can book a Liver Function Test (LFT) and Ultrasound Whole Abdomen to check liver condition and rule out complications. Share the report with your doctor for further management if levels remain high.

Please find my attached blood report and help me understand the possible reason behind my chest pain and excessive acid production in the stomach. My SGPT level is high, could this be related to a liver issue?

I wanted to ask about ALP in a liver function test. My ALP level came out to be 141. Does this indicate any problem with my liver? Thank you.

I am a COVID recovered patient (recovered about one month ago). I recently received my liver function test results, which show that AST/SGOT is 44 and ALT/SGPT is 84, both slightly above the normal range. Could you please advise if this is something I should be concerned about? Is it possibly related to the recent COVID 19 infection, or should I undergo further tests or treatment?
