Blood Test Shows Elevated Bilirubin Count, Other Results Are Normal. Trying To Lose Weight. Suggestions?
I had a blood test and my bilirubin total was 2.1 I am 64 years old and in great shape and all other blood tests came out great. I do not have any symptoms of yellowing in my skin or my eyes. I am in the process of loosing some weight. I am 5-11 and right now weigh 198 and I want to get down to 185 but I was as high as 215 before I started to cur down. I exercise regularly and feel great. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi dear
Welcome to the platform of health care magic
Slightly raised bilirubin does not indicate that you suffering with hepatitis.
Some liver enzymes like SGPT etc should also have been raised to confirm liver damage.
This slightly raise bilirubin could be because of some heavy exercises you are doing.
You can continue doing exercises till your liver enzymes are with in normal limits.
Hope your query is answered .
Thankx
