I'm worried about my total bilirubin level, which is 1.56. Does that mean I have jaundice, or could it be something else?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A total bilirubin level of 1.56 mgdL is slightly elevated, but it is important to consider the normal range and context in interpreting this result. The typical normal range for total bilirubin in adults is around 0.1 to 1.2 mgdL, To get a clearer picture of your liver function, it is helpful to check other liver enzymes such as AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and GGT. If these are elevated along with bilirubin, it may indicate liver dysfunction.

I've been dealing with this issue for a couple of days now. I saw a doctor who prescribed me Devon and Benalgis, one each daily, but I'm still having the same problem. Plus, my blood pressure was pretty low at that time, like 8070. The burning sensation comes and goes, it's not constant throughout the day. Any ideas on what else might be going on or what I should do next?

I've been diagnosed with Grade 3 internal hemorrhoids by a gastroenterologist who recommended surgery. Before going that route, I'd like to explore non-surgical options like diet and exercise. Is it scientifically possible to manage or treat Grade 3 piles this way? If so, I'd appreciate recommendations for a good dietician in Thane who specializes in this.
