What Does Elevated Bilrubin In A Routine Blood Test Indicate ?
Recently had a blood test for a normal routine yearly physical. Bilirubin came back at 1.5 level. I have been taken a cholesterol reducing medication. Had been taken Zocor, approx 2 yrs and started on pravacor in the last month. Pravacor had been taken approx. 10+ days prior to test. I have a 4 1/2 y/o and a 2 y/o that never had any jaundice issues nor have I. Going for a follow up with a specialist to review the bilirubin test. Should I have any major concerns? Are there any other symptons I would have to suggest possible liver damage?
