My baby is a 7 day old girl. Her bilirubin level as per the test report is 10.80 mg/dL. Is any medication required, or is sunlight exposure enough?

This is slightly raised. Usually, sunlight exposure is adequate. Monitor levels every 24 to 48 hours. Please take a repeat Serum Bilirubin to ensure it does not rise. Take the repeat test to ensure safety.

Dear Sir/Madam, 20 days ago I did blood tests and my bilirubin level was 0.8 and direct bilirubin level was 0.2. Nowadays I have a problem of stomach pain. Sometimes it is intense in the morning after taking breakfast with tea. In the afternoon it is ok. The pain occurs on the liver side, in the centre, and on the right and left side of the abdomen. Bloating is also there and I also feel tremor in the abdomen. What is it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I took a liver test 5 months back. My direct bilirubin level was 0.57, indirect 1.07, and total 1.67. I took the test again 4 days back and have attached the report. I eat a regular diet including non vegetarian food and consume alcohol once a week. I have some doubt whether I have jaundice or not. Please verify my report and if there is any problem, please guide me on diet.

My blood test shows Bilirubin (Direct): 0.6 mg/dL, Bilirubin (Indirect): 1.5 mg/dL, and Bilirubin (Total): 2.1 mg/dL. Are these levels normal or do they indicate a problem?
