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.

Question

Hello, I just had my routine annual blood work completed. My bilirubin was 1.1. Although the lab report states it is in the normal range, being 0.1 above normal concerns me. I have hypertension and take the generic form of Norvasc 5 mg and a low dose aspirin. I am very active, 38 years old, and work out 5 to 6 days a week with lifting, running, or biking. I have a healthy diet and partake in some social adult beverages. Should I have any concerns? All other numbers came out in the middle ranges.
