I took 100 mg Mazetol for 10 days, and for the next 7 months I did not have any issues. After seven months, the problem recurred along with Widal fever, and I took Mazetol again for 10 days, after which I was fine for 8 months. Now, I have been experiencing the same symptoms for the past 4 days. My liver function test shows serum bilirubin of 3.30, while all other parameters are normal. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Elevated bilirubin (3.3) despite normal LFT suggests mild liver dysfunction. Needs repeat test and ultrasound to assess liver condition. Avoid oily, spicy food.

I have been suffering from acute Hepatitis E infection for the past 3 weeks. My liver enzymes have decreased significantly but are still above the normal range. However, my bilirubin has remained very high at 18 for the past 2 weeks, having risen from 2.13 to 6.23 to 18.77. My attending physician has suggested steroids to help reduce bilirubin. Are steroids safe to use in this situation, and if taken, is there a risk of a rebound increase in bilirubin after a few days or weeks? My PT/INR had also increased but is now normal. Please advise on whether I should take steroids.

My bilirubin is high in my report. What should I do now? I was diagnosed with COVID 19 last month on the 18th.

Please advise the criticality of this clinical pathology report at present and in the future. What treatment should be taken as prevention is better than cure? My test results are bilirubin direct 0.40 mg/dl with a range of 0 to 0.3, bilirubin indirect 1.4 mg/dl with a range of 0 to 1.1, and bilirubin total 1.80 mg/dl with a range of 0.2 to 1.3.
