What are the hazards of elevated total bilirubin?

Patient's question:

I have hepatitis B, and recently my skin has been turning slightly yellow; the change is quite severe. I went to the hospital for liver function and hepatitis B surface antigen tests; the liver function test showed significantly elevated total bilirubin. What are the dangers of high total bilirubin?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, elevated bilirubin indicates jaundice, which is caused by poor liver function. For patients, if the condition of elevated total bilirubin is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of elevated total bilirubin. In addition, patients need to maintain a proper diet, stay in a good mood, and lead a regular lifestyle for the condition to improve quickly. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
