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.

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a Lipid Profile Test Test

View allI 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?

Hi, one of my LFT tests shows SGOT as 70 with a reference range of 15 to 37 and SGPT as 200 with a reference range of 16 to 63. Another lab test shows SGOT as 83 with a normal range of 0 to 40 and SGPT as 176 with a normal range of 0 to 36. Can someone please help me understand which values are worse? Is the second lab test worse than the first? Which values are higher?
