Is Alcohol Consumption Appropriate To Increase Bilirubin Levels?
My billiruben levels went from 68 to 117 and the GP called me back. I had an ultrasound on abdomen yesterday but apparently there is nothing to see. I had taken to ONE small bacardi and coke about every three to four days which must account for the change (?). My GP advises me not to stop having the drink each day. What do you think?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your bilirubin is at high normal. You should go for complete liver function test. If your liver enzymes are high then you should stop alcohol. If your liver enzymes are normal then no need to worry. You can take small quantities of alcohol.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
