Patient's question:
As the title says, today's hepatitis health check showed high total bilirubin, while other indicators were normal, and the hepatitis B five-item test was also normal.Doctor's answer:
Reason: 1. Abnormal metabolism of bilirubin, seen in liver disease or biliary obstruction. 2. Excessive destruction of red blood cells, leading to excess indirect bilirubin, seen in hemolysis. In terms of diet, it should be based on light food, eating more fresh vegetables such as cabbage, celery, spinach, etc. Patients with slightly elevated total bilirubin should appropriately digest many fruits, such as apples, pears, bananas, grapes, oranges, etc. It is recommended to have a complete blood count and liver ultrasound to understand the specific cause of elevated total bilirubin. I hope this helps you. In fact, having slightly elevated total bilirubin is not terrible. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is given in the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
