Suffering From Jaundice, Stomach Ache, Diarrhea Feeling Weak, Tired. Further Tests Required?
hello doc - i started with a fever and bodyache including joint pain. my doctor asked me to get platelet count checked, which was 1.38. Then again I continued feeling weak and tiredness. Then I got my LFT and lipids checked, which showed bilirubin high at 2.14 total and 1.21 conjugated and doc said I had jaundice , which further increased to 3.75 and 1.72 respectively after 1 week, which I got checked when I had stomach ache and watery diarrhea . Kindly guide me what actually wrong can be with my body and should I go for further tests to get the clear picture what I can be suffering from. I am teatotaller and pure vegetarian. Waiting for your valuable reply. Regards Kuldeep Singh

hi.. you have weakness and loss of appetite.. bilurubin levels are high.. you could be suffering from viral hepatitis.. bilirubin raises and falls, giving a sigmoid shaped curve on graph.. with the history you could be suffering from hepatitis A infection.. you need to aviod fat diet, increase carbohydrate diet, liver protecting drugs like silimarine and multivitamins and liver enzyme preparations.. diarrhea could be due to fat intolerence.. take rest..
