My father is suffering from jaundice. Last week, his bilirubin was 1.23 mg/dL, and his cholesterol is slightly high. Could you please advise what treatment or care he should follow? Also, how soon should he get tested again by a doctor?

Your father bilirubin is only slightly raised, suggesting mild liver strain, not serious jaundice. Give him light, low fat meals with more fluids and rest. Since his cholesterol is also a bit high, avoid oily foods. You can take him to the doctor within a week and repeat liver and cholesterol tests after 2 to 3 weeks.

Question

I had an ultrasound done for gas trouble which I have had for almost 2 years. The ultrasound report shows non visualized right kidney possibly agenesis with compensatory hypertrophy of the left kidney and fatty liver. I do not smoke, I do not drink, and I rarely take medicines. I understand that my right kidney has not grown since childhood. What does this mean for me along with fatty liver?
