How To Depress Bilirubin Level During Jaundice?

My mother age 64 has been ill with jaundice for 3 weeks now and hospitalised. Her sgpt levels have improved from 2800 to 900 as of yesterday over the past 2 weeks. However the total bilirubin levels are increasing a the shot lowers and has gone up from 21 to 30 as of yesterday over the past 2 weeks... Her IRT tests are within normal levels say the doctors. Viral hepatitis shows negative in her blood tests and now tests for auto immune hepatitis are currently being done. Pls advise

Hi,
usually bilirubin levels are the last to recover ,because usually sgot and sgpt are the levels which will reduce followed by bilirubin levels.Once when they are settling down it will go to peak levels and later starts falling down.
But cause of hepatitis should be ruled out.
thank you
