Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi..i am 25 years old weighing about 60 kg and 5ft 7 inches high.i am suffering from jaundice from last 15 days.my present bilirubin is 2.7 , just wanted to know could i start taking eggs and chicken which are cooked with very little oil and and less spicy.
the cause of this jaundice is more important than the symptom itself. It could be caused by various conditions - simple or more severe. Hepatitis is a common cause in young individuals but there are also benign causes like the Gilbert's syndrome (which does no harm at all) or genetic causes of hemolysis like heterozygous thalassemia that may also cause a mild elevation in bilirubin levels.
So it all depends on the cause. You've got to investigate it with your doctor. Other tests of the liver function are going to be needed for this purpose and perhaps also radiological assessment of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen.
I hope I've helped! I'll be glad to comment on test reports if you can upload any!
Kind Regards!
