Patient's question:
In October, the unit health check revealed elevated total bilirubin at 26, with normal transaminase levels.Doctor's answer:
3.42, 20μmol/L. Total bilirubin is the sum of direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin. Elevated total bilirubin is what people commonly refer to as jaundice. When total bilirubin is high, it is not advisable to rely solely on medication for treatment. Attention should also be paid to diet. Developing good dietary habits can not only provide some relief for the condition but also complement medication to prevent the progression of the disease. Patients with high total bilirubin can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while understanding the importance of symptomatic medication. In daily life, they should maintain a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
