What Does High Bilirubin Value Inspite Of Healthy Diet Indicate?

Question: Hi Doctor, my brother's age is 24 his bilirubin count has increased from 4. to 5.50. He is active as compared to last time but his eyes are showing a bit yellow and we are confused what exactly to give him to eat as we are taking care of him at home and its been more than two weeks now.
At present we are giving only glucose, sugercane juice,oranges, b-complex syrup, tender coconut water, oranges,radish juice and chapatis without any oil or ghee.
His liver function report shows his hepatitis A virus surface antigen to b non-reactive and S.G.PT is 1155 and S.G.O.T is 267, Direct 4.20 and indirect: 1.30
These counts are really scaring me.. please suggest! Should we admit him to hospital care?...

Brief Answer:
yes you should admit him
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
The food you are giving to your brother is correct only but as despite all these the bilirubin count is increasing and has now reached to 5.5. I am concerned about the rising titre and I would strongly suggest that you admit him under hospital care for a more specific management.
Hope I have been helpful.
