My father is suffering from jaundice. Last week, his bilirubin was 1.23 mg/dL, and his cholesterol is slightly high. Could you please advise what treatment or care he should follow? Also, how soon should he get tested again by a doctor?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your father bilirubin is only slightly raised, suggesting mild liver strain, not serious jaundice. Give him light, low fat meals with more fluids and rest. Since his cholesterol is also a bit high, avoid oily foods. You can take him to the doctor within a week and repeat liver and cholesterol tests after 2 to 3 weeks.

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a Lipid Profile Test Test

Hi Doctor. I am a 41 year old male. My abdominal ultrasound report shows that the liver is average in size, measuring about 16.1 cm in the right midclavicular line with a smooth outline. It has normal homogeneous echogenicity with smooth echotexture. There is an ill defined heterogeneous lesion in segment IVb V measuring about 1.7 by 2.4 cm with minimal surrounding vascularity. The portal vein is average in calibre with normal colour flow. Can you explain the cause and how dangerous this condition is.
