I recently had my bilirubin levels checked, and I'm a bit worried because my total bilirubin is at 2.5. My direct bilirubin seems fine, but it's my indirect bilirubin that's high at 2.2. Everything else like ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin, globulin, and the AG ratio is normal. I had jaundice about four months ago, and I'm wondering if this could be related. What could be causing this high indirect bilirubin, and is there anything I can do to bring it down? Would really appreciate some advice.

View allI'm experiencing upper abdomen pain and loose motions, and my family doctor said it might be because of the augmentin 625 tablets I'm taking. I started using BIFILAC as he suggested, and it worked, but whenever I stop taking it, the loose motions come back. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm new to Bangalore, and I'm wondering if it's the change in food that's causing this. Could you help me figure out what's happening?
Continue probiotics to help restore your gut balance. Make dietary changes to suit your stomach. Drink enough fluids and avoid dehydration. Consult with a gastroenterologist for a thorough check-up and to rule out any infections or food sensitivities

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with my recent diagnosis from Apollo Hospital. They found 5 ulcers in my digestive tract and said I have IBD, specifically Crohn's disease, along with cough variant asthma. They did a colonoscopy, abdomen CT scan, fecal test, and a bunch of blood tests. Now I'm on medication for IBD and Crohns, and theyve given me an inhaler for the cough. Im a bit worriedshould I expect any side effects from the meds, and how can I manage these conditions effectively on a daily basis? Any advice on diet or lifestyle adjustments would be really helpful.
The diagnosis of Crohn's disease, a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and cough variant asthma is based on comprehensive testing, and the prescribed medications, likely including aminosalicylates, immunomodulators, or biologics for Crohn's, and bronchodilators or corticosteroids for asthma, aim to manage symptoms, induce remission, and prevent complications.

The patient has been on TB medication for a month and has been vomiting continuously for the past two days after eating or drinking anything. Today, she took her TB medicine twice and vomited it up both times almost immediately. Should we skip today's TB dose? And do you have any advice on how to handle the vomiting? Please help.
Yes. Vomiting may be because of AKT induced hepatitis. For that liver function test to be checked and treatment should be modified accordingly
