Question: Hi Doctors -

I am a hep B carrier with HBSAG and negative for HBEAG which I believe it means my viral load does not replicate - Please correct me if I am wrong...I was diagnosed in the past with acute pancreatitis and H. pylori where I had pale stools, what appeared to be yellowing skin and eyes - both conditions have been successfully treated. However I am still experiencing the yellowish skin/pallor and yellowish eyes, discoloration of the soft palate, teeth, nails, (sometimes the palms and soles of feet) - One things that is confusing to me is that my bilirubin whenever test always comes up within the normal range - See below;

Bilirubin Total @ 0.5 range (0.2 - 1.2 mg/dL)
Bilirubin Direct @ 0.1 range (< = 1.2 mg/dL)

All my CBC and CMP come up normal as well, besides my Triglycerides and cholesterol that were a bit high - see below

Triglycerides @ 175 High range (0 -149 mg/dL)
LDL @ 139 High mg/dL range (0 - 99 mg/dL)

Amylase @ 135 range ( 31- 124 mg/dL)
Lipase @ 45 range (0 -50 mg/dL)

Please HELP! - I look very unhealthy and doctors tell me my liver numbers are normal. so there must be something else that is out of whack.

Hi Dr XXXXXXX Kini

My HBVDNA as of 4/19 was 5630 IU/ml
My Liver enzyme as of 4/19 were as follows;


AST @ 29 range ( 1-50 U/L)
ALT @ 41 range ( 1-53 U/L)
Hi I just uploaded my full labs as of 4/19. thanks.

Thanks for the info Dr.

I have been also have pale/yellow stools, constipation (have to push hard), pale(yellowish) skin. What could be causing these symptoms besides the liver? My nails are not the normal pink anymore as they have become either dark pink and yellow when fingers are stretched. I really need help figuring this out.

I have also noticed pale conjunctiva - what I may have previously thought to be Jaundice was probably anemia of some sort....

I have tested for B12 and Folate both of which I am within the normal ranges

I have alse tested for Iron and that was normal as well.

I know there are several types of anemia, but which one is the one I am looking to zero in on. Perhaps red blood cell desctruction due to a perhaps malfunctioning spleen since I recently had a acute pancreatitis.

What are some causes of rapid destruction of rbcs? How can I go about checking to see if that is what I have?

Meant to include also that I noticed my skin lightening to the point that it appears that I have loss of color in all parts of my body....again my liver enzymes have been within normal range, and billirubin as well.

Does high tryglicerides/ cholesterol have to do with it? my recent labs are as follows;

Triglycerides 175 mg/dL range (0 - 149)
LDL Cholesterol 139 mg/dL range (0 -99)

Also my neutrophills are a bit out whack;

Neurtophills 38 range (40 - 74)
Lymphs 53 range (14 - 46)

Thanks.
