Hello,

Your have conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. You have to rule out other possible causes are like obstructive jaundice or infections. Use tablet Udiliv 300 mg for one month. Get it done reticulocyte count, Coombs test, ultrasound abdomen and urine urobilinogen and stool for clay colour and absence of bile salts. Please review with reports or consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
