I'm 31 and just got my bilirubin test results. It says my total bilirubin is at 1.99 and the indirect bilirubin is 1.69. Should I be worried about these numbers? Are they okay or do they indicate something concerning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
At 31 years old, your total bilirubin of 1.99 mgdL and indirect bilirubin of 1.69 mgdL are slightly elevated but not immediately concerning. These levels can be influenced by various factors like mild liver function variations or hemolysis. Its important to discuss these results with your doctor to determine if further testing or monitoring is needed based on your overall health and symptoms.

View allI've been struggling with high bilirubin levels for a couple of years now, and I'm feeling quite worried. The doctors checked for gallstones with an ultrasound and didn't find any. They said I need to follow a good diet, but my bilirubin levels went from 1.8 to 2.2 and haven't improved. What could be causing this, and what kind of treatment should I consider? Could it be something other than diet? I have my lab reports if that helps.
High bilirubin levels can be concerning, especially if they have been persisting for 2 years despite following a good diet and ruling out gallstones in the bladder. One possible treatment option to help lower bilirubin levels is to use Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). UDCA can help improve bile flow and reduce the amount of bilirubin in the blood. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments.

I've been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia in my upper stomach and the pain is constant it's making it hard to eat properly. Is this something that can be treated with medication or will I need surgery? Also, could you recommend a good doctor for this? I'm really concerned about my condition.
They may recommend medicines called antacids or alginates, which can help ease your symptoms. It's best to take these with food or soon after eating, as this is when you're most likely to get symptoms. They may also work for longer if taken with food.
