Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Jyothi BL and I will be answering your query.
Looking at the query, my opinion is as follows:
1. There is no relation between bilirubin and platelet count.
2. Diurnal variations and day to day variations is common with everything, and similarly your bilirubin and platelet is getting varied.
3. Afternoon hemoconcentration might be concentrating the blood to give high platelet count.
4. Diet affecting bilirubin levels. Your raised bilirubin is due to XXXXXXX syndrome, which presents with most of the other liver function test as normal.
Do not worry. If the platelet count falls below 100000, further investigation might be necessary.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
