Question: I have had left side abdominal pain for the last month. I went to urgent care and they said it was a Kidney infection. A week later I went to my primary care doctor, he took a blood sample and my bilirubin levels came back elevated. He is referring me to a gastroenterologist. The pain worsens when I eat and I have been nauseous.
