We are from Chicago, my son is 24 years old and week ago he did general blood analysis test, and urine.All results were normal, except One: bilirubin was 2.9 with normal 0-1.2 We did ultrasound right away and ultrasound was normal . Next step we need to do another blood test more detailed ...upon till now we are reading so many things regarding hepatitis Generally he does have any complains , it was just annual check up
In the early stage of hepatitis, there might not be full of clinical symptoms. It might be an early stage of hepatitis. To investigate with ultrasound abdomen, SGPT, SGOT and HAV ab testing, HBsAg testing, Anti HCV ab testing by Elisa. If the liver condition does not present and all normal, then rule out hemolytic anemia by serum LDH and peripheral smear examination.
