Elevated bilirubin in mid-30 year old after fatty liver success
I'm 6'4", big guy and I used to be 290 pounds. I've list 65 pounds from a lot of strenuous exercise (high intensity interval training) and eating better and am now around 225. I plan to lose another 10 or so pounds.
A few years ago my liver function tests started coming back with elevated ALT
are back well within the normal range, but bilirubin is still at 1.5 -- the range on the test says normal is .03 to 1.2 so this is above normal.
Is this a concern? Would it take a while for bilirubin to get back to normal after losing a lot of weight?
I did have a hepatitis test done a few years ago and it was normal. I have no symptoms of anything abnormal for elevated bilirubin (no jaundice/pale - not tired, etc).
