What Does Bilirubin Level Of 3.9 Indicate?

Hi Doctor.... My mother is suffering from jaundice... She is 60 yrs old. On 23rd October her serum Bilirubin was 3.9 mg/dl & SGPT was 948 IU/Lt. She has been prescribed udliv 300 twice daily & duphalac syrup once daily. On 9th November, she was again tested & lft was done. Her Bilirubin was 2.99 mg/dl, SGPT 158, SGOT 80, ALKALINE PHOSPHATE 175 IU/L, TOTAL PROTEIN 7.9 GM/DL, ALBUMIN 4.2 gm/dl, globulin 3.7 gm/dl. On 25 th November, her urine & eyes are still yellowish ( although lighter yellow than before). Plz suggest how much time it will take to be normal? Thank you.

Hello,

Most probably it will be viral hepatitis.

In that case, it will settle in five to seven days.

You can go for an IgM test for confirmation.

If bilirubin is persistently high, you can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
