Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm a 48 year old healthy male. A recent blood test reveals a billireuben level of 35. I'm a moderate drinker, healthy, fit and on no medication. I'm going to have more tests but any ideas of cause of having raised levels? What action would you recommend? Thanks Tom
HI Well come to HCM If the serum bilirubin increased then this is indication of some hepatobiliary condition this could be obstructive pathology, inflammatory process, infection, and these need to be differentiated, alcohol could be the reason, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
