Suggest Treatment For Yellowish Eyes And Raised Bilirubin Levels
I am 64yrs of age.On checking biot profile it was found that all other items in these tests were found in normal range except bilirubimin total (7.66), bilirubimin ind 3.61 and bilirubimin dir 4.05. I am monitoring these items for past 45 yrs and finding these in more or less similar range..Other symptoms include slight yellowish eyes and slight yellow colour of the urine. Stool is normal colour. I feel hungry and take normal home prepared food like other family members. I am passing normal life like others. I have served in GOVT. and other places in higher/ middle management level for 35 years. The only problem I face is lack of sleep at night despite following all instructions from different doctors.Do you please have any comments/suggestions. h.singh
Hello Mr Singh, How are you? My name is Dr Suresh Raghavaiah. I am a specialist Liver and Pancreas Surgeon in Ludhiana, Punjab and I hope to answer your question today. I am sorry to hear about your symptoms. I understand that you are having chronic hyperbilirubinemia (Increased bilirubin) . It is surprising that you haven't progressed for the past 45 years and I am happy for you. But given the fact that you do have clinically evident jaundice (Yellowness of eyes), it is important to diagnose the cause of this increased bilirubin and hopefully treat it. You will need to undergo some form of imaging (ultrasound / CT scan) of the liver in order to find out if there is any obstruction to the drainage of bile. If not you might need some blood tests also to detect the cause for your jaundice.
Please do contact me on XXXX or on YYYY so we can discuss this further.
Hope this helped you and hope you start to feel better.
Have a great day
Dr Suresh Raghavaiah
