Blood Tests Show Abnormal Bilirubin. Pressure In Bladder. CT Scan Recommended. Need For Worry?
I am 36. I recently received blood test results that showed my total bilirubin at 2.5...direct at .41 and my iron at 200. I am having some pain in my upper right side and pressure on my bladder . An UTI has been ruled out, but a recent visit to an urologist indicated blood in my urine, along with leukocytes. She recommended that I come in for a CT with contrast and a cystoscopy. Should I be tremendously worried? All of my other numbers on that blood test were great!!!

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
High bilirubin may be seen in various disease but most of them are benign. it may or may not be relaed to bladder pressure.some tumor processes may cause bladder pressure but before it the most common causes such as gallbladder stones,hepatitis or pancreatitis should be ruled out. so i dont htink you need to be worried but the right cause should be verifeid so that treatment can be started.
Wish you good health. Regards
