My psychiatrist advised me to take some blood tests, and my bilirubin level came out to be 1.54. What are the possible health problems or causes associated with high bilirubin? Please advise.

A bilirubin level of 1.54 mg/dL is slightly above normal often due to mild liver slowdown, dehydration, or stress. If other liver markers (SGPT, SGOT) are normal, its usually not serious. Can also occur in Gilberts syndrome, a harmless condition where bilirubin rises off and on. Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol or heavy oily food during this time.

I got my blood report and my SGOT/AST level is 47.2 U/L while the normal reference is up to 35. My lipase level is also high at about 70.83 U/L while the normal reference is up to 60 U/L. What should I do? Please suggest what diet I should maintain. My SGPT and amylase levels are normal. Please help me. Is this dangerous for me?

My wife is 8 months pregnant and is now experiencing skin rashes all over her body. Her recent SGPT test report shows values above the normal range (more than 20 units). Please advise what this could indicate and what steps should be taken.
