Hi... I was Treated for the Leptospyra 10 days back. I have got my Liver Function test 11 done.
S Bilurubin Result is Total 1.6 mg/dl where as the normal value is .20-1.20mgs/dl

Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my best to help you.

As you have taken treatment for leptospira and your bilirubin is just above the normal value. I tell you that during your treatment you have taken drug that effect on hepatic metabolism and the reason for elevated bilirubin is this only. Do not worry about this. This will turn to normal level after a few weeks.
Nothing to worry about this.
If you have additional symptom appear than consult a good physician for this.

Thanks and Regards.
Dr Vijay
