Patient's question:
Patient is male, 25 years old, with a good health condition previously. Liver function test results: Total bilirubin 22.29, direct bilirubin 9.10. The doctor said these two values are slightly elevated.Doctor's answer:
Your current liver function is still okay, so there's no need to be overly anxious. There are no significant issues with your liver, and there are no signs of liver disease. Bilirubin can be elevated not only due to liver function but also from the breakdown of red blood cells. Moreover, your current bilirubin levels have not exceeded the pathological threshold, indicating it is not a sign of liver disease. For severe liver disease patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
