My wife, age 32, has UTI with no fever, so we took a routine test. There is slight elevation in conjugated bilirubin. She has no disease of any kind. Why is there an elevation?

A slight increase in conjugated bilirubin without other symptoms can happen temporarily. Dehydration during a UTI or fasting before the test can affect bilirubin levels. If liver function tests are otherwise normal and there is no jaundice, it is usually not serious. Ensure proper hydration and complete the treatment for UTI. You can book a Liver Function Test (LFT) after 2 weeks to recheck bilirubin levels for reassurance.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a Lipid Profile Test Test

Hi, I used to consume high levels of alcohol for 10 years. For the past 5 years, I have quit hard liquor but have beer 5 days a week, around 2 bottles of 650 ml each. I have fatty liver grade 1. SGOT is 37 and SGPT is 64. Total bilirubin is 0.6. All other liver parameters are normal. Will this fatty liver grade continue to progress? I swim for an hour 6 days a week, around 400 metres. I have been taking Reheptin 1 tab a day for 6 years.
