bilirubin level

by hipps, Sep 04, 2005 12:00AM
Hi ,
I apologise for all may question and thanks for your patience and understanding
I have some doubts about bilirubinīs level. My bilirubin level is slightly elevated. My AST and ALT are normal, but I am confused about this elevated bilirubin level. Now, I would like to know what bilirubin do and what are consequences of elevated bilirubin level? Is bilirubin linked to AST and ALT levels? Should I worry about it? Thanks for your support and help.

<font size="2" color="#336600">Your bilirubin level is a completely different liver function then your ALT and AST. Here is a link to a great Web site that will help explain your Liver Functions and Liver counts.

          GOD BLESS

my wife has abdominal pains for about 10 days and she had a citiscan done and they confirmed an ovary cyst which she had for about a year (3mm).

The last blood test showed Bilirubine total at 44 and direct at 5. Can she have Hepatitis. She says her urine is bit yellow if she does not drink water. She was anemic but now her anemia is oK as her doctor took her off the iron pill she was taking. She also takes Synthroid. Any help would be appreciated
