I am not taking alcohol, oils, spices, or outside food since 20th November. At that time, my platelets were around 46k. Now they are over 1 lakh. Suddenly, my total bilirubin increased to 5. I started a Joinex related diet with more liquids, vegetables, and fruits, and I am still on it, but it is not coming down. Today the report shows bilirubin 6.49. What could be the reason and what should I do?

Rising bilirubin despite diet control may indicate post viral hepatitis, liver inflammation, or Gilberts syndrome. Platelet improvement is a good sign, but persistent high bilirubin needs evaluation. Continue hydration, a soft diet, and avoid oily and outside food. Avoid unnecessary medications and alcohol. You can book a Liver Function Test (LFT) and Ultrasound Whole Abdomen to check liver condition and rule out complications. Share the report with your doctor for further management if levels remain high.

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?
