Patient's question:
When my father was young, his health was not very good. Recently, I took my father for a serum test, and the test report showed that total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were elevated. Therefore, I would like to consult a doctor about the effects of elevated total bilirubin and direct bilirubin.Doctor's answer:
Go to the hospital to check liver function. The occurrence of increased total bilirubin and direct bilirubin is a kind of damage to liver function. Under normal circumstances, if liver function is abnormal, the red blood cells destroyed by the liver will be metabolized by the liver and excreted from the body through urine and feces. Severe changes in urine color and changes in fecal color need to be checked for liver damage caused by hepatitis B, or whether the number of red blood cells is too high and exceeds the burden of the liver.
