I'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 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 noticed my SGOT is at 93 and SGPT is at 89, and it's got me a bit worried. What can I do to bring these levels down to a healthier range? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid. Additionally, you can take Silymarin at a dosage recommended by your consulting doctor. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce inflammation. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet low in fat and sugar, and exercise regularly to support liver health.
