My wife, age 32, has UTI with no fever, so we took a routine test. There is slight elevation in conjugated bilirubin. She has no disease of any kind. Why is there an elevation?

A slight increase in conjugated bilirubin without other symptoms can happen temporarily. Dehydration during a UTI or fasting before the test can affect bilirubin levels. If liver function tests are otherwise normal and there is no jaundice, it is usually not serious. Ensure proper hydration and complete the treatment for UTI. You can book a Liver Function Test (LFT) after 2 weeks to recheck bilirubin levels for reassurance.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a Lipid Profile Test Test

Dear Sir, I have chikungunya since 2 days. My CBC report shows MCHC 34, Neutrophils 89, Lymphocytes 6, PDW 16, WBC 6499, and Platelet count 260000. My main symptoms are burning on the tongue and throat due to difficulty in eating. What treatment should I take and what is the reason for burning on the tongue and throat? Is it due to the virus or medication? I also have joint pain and sometimes fever.
