Sir, my direct bilirubin is high and I have occasional right rib cage pain and yellow stool. I have tested LFT and in that report direct bilirubin is high, GGT and ALP are normal, and AST and ALT are slightly high. What can this be? Is it bile acid synthesis disorder where direct bilirubin is high with normal GGT and ALP? I am attaching all my reports including fibroscan which shows 8.12 kPa.

Could be mild cholestasis or Gilberts syndrome. Not typically bile acid synthesis disorder. Repeat LFTs, monitor symptoms. Liver diet, hydration recommended.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a Serum Bile Acid Test Test

My father, 58 years old, recently felt pain in the abdomen. The doctor advised an ultrasonography. After the test, the report showed that there are stones present in the gall bladder and some infection too.

My husband has had diabetes for one year and was diagnosed with fatty liver 6 months back. Recently, he did HbA1c, which shows 5.5, but random sugar was 177. Lipid profile shows triglycerides 317 and HDL 26. LFT shows conjugated bilirubin 0.6. Vitamin B12 shows 1046. I am very worried about these reports. Please explain if it is okay to have such values or if any further tests are needed to identify the cause of these elevated values. If not, how can these values be lowered?

I am attaching my blood test report as well as my USG report. For the past 2 months, I have been experiencing elevated bilirubin and liver enzymes. Please review the reports and advise what could be the cause and what steps I should take next.
