What Causes Elevated Bilirubin Levels With Right Sided Body Pain?
Hi I recently had blood test done which came out with 30+ levels of bilirubin, i have really tender right side with sever to moderate ache throughout the day. I m also Beta thalessimia minor too. My brother is undergoing leukaemia treatment, he had the same initial symptoms and bilirubin levels am I headed toward the same outcome? Please advice
Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM. I read and understand your question very well. I try my best to explain you.
As you have elevated bilirubin level and sever tenderness in right side of abdomen, it is not necessary that you have same out come as your brother. There may be possibilities of liver pathology like liver damage , fatty liver, cirrhosis , jaundice etc. I suggest to do CBC ( complete blood count ) with peripheral amear , Serum AST , Serum ALT also.
I suggest to consult a good physician for this. Thanks and Regards. Dr Vijay
