Suggest Treatment For High Bilirubin Count

I have a level of 3.4 of total bilirubin And according to my doctor the level of the indirect bilirubine is high. I checked up my blood in general and everything is perfect. I made some test to find If I have ever passed any form of hepatit and the answer was negative. He told me that may be is a Gilbert syndrome that cause your level of bilirubine. I also made a resonance examination and the left part of the liver was a bit large than normal. But according to that doctor that interpreted my resonance result was not the cause of that bilirubine level. So as above I want to known what do I heave? Do I have a gilbert syndrome. ? Is this harmful for the future.? Should I have a specific food diet.? Thank you

Dear Friend, greetings from HCM.. I understand your concern ... Just bilirubin is high without any symptoms and mild liver enlargement without any antigen/ antibody elevated for hepatitis suggest "Gilbert syndrome" yes your doctor is right.. Its a type of congenital indirect hyperbilirubinemia. Its harmless condition... But to be careful in future if you are consuming any drugs toxic to liver or causing red blood cell lysis .. Every time when you are sick consult doctor for prescription .. Don't go for too many over the counter drugs including paracetamol ... No alcohol or smoking .. Take more of green leafy vegetables, and fruits .. You can walk or play regularly it helps .. If you have any pain or yellowish discoloration of skin pls contact doctor .. Other wise it is totally harmless and you will lead very much normal life ... Thank you and do contact us for more queries ..
