High Bilirubin count-What Does this mean?
I recently had a routine bloodtest done and I was told that I had a high biliruben count for my liver, and i’m seeing a doctor in a few weeks. How is it usually treated, (is there any surgery involved) and could this mean anything more serious.
Answer:
Sometimes High bilirubin counts w/o other abnormal liver tests may be Gilbert Syndrome, a genetic condition that does not cause any complication.
High Bilirubin count can cause jaundice. Depends on how bad you are if your liver will be damaged or not. Best bet is to follow your doctors orders to a “T”. And stay on whenever diet he has you on. Usually low fat. Just do whatever he says to do.
