Hi, I recently went through a full body blood test. Other tests were fine and values are within the normal range, but my direct bilirubin level is 0.4 (normal range 0.0 to 0.3) and my indirect bilirubin level is 0.9. I just want to check if there is any need to worry and if there is any advice regarding this? Warm regards.

A direct bilirubin of 0.4 (slightly above range) and indirect bilirubin of 0.9 are not concerning if your liver function tests are otherwise normal. Mild variations can occur due to dehydration, recent illness, or fasting. Drink adequate water and maintain a balanced diet. Avoid alcohol and heavy oily food to support liver health. You can book a Liver Function Test (LFT) after 2 to 3 months to recheck bilirubin levels for reassurance.

Question

I have been experiencing stomach pain and recently underwent a CT Enterography and MR Elastography, which showed that my liver is enlarged to 22.3 cm and my spleen to 14 cm. I am also having body pain, fatigue, and right side abdominal pain, especially when sitting. Recently, I have noticed significant bleeding as well. My doctor has advised me to do liver function tests (LFT) and thyroid tests in the coming week.

Question

Sir, my recent LFT reports show bilirubin at 1.86, SGPT at 42, and SGOT at 45. I have done LFT tests three times over different weeks. While SGPT and SGOT levels have decreased (SGPT: 65 to 42, SGOT: 55 to 45), my bilirubin has increased from 1.2 to 1.86. I have been taking Udiliv 300 and Tocofol as prescribed by a gastroenterologist. What should I do next?
