Patient's question:
Doctor, I have hemolytic anemia with high bilirubin. How should I be treated? I have been tested for over two months, and the medicine from this hospital hasn't helped. My condition has even worsened. The day before yesterday, I went to another hospital for another test, and it was even higher than before.Doctor's answer:
Hemolytic anemia naturally has high bilirubin levels because red blood cells are destroyed and processed by the liver to become bilirubin, causing the person to turn yellow. The issue you need to address is first identifying the cause of hemolysis. If red blood cells stop being destroyed in the body, your bilirubin levels will never be high. Medications to reduce jaundice are only temporarily effective, and according to what you said, they haven't even worked after taking them. Treating hemolysis and reducing jaundice simultaneously is the best decision.
