Is My Bilirubin Level in the Normal Range or Should I Be Worried? - #14570
I recently got a routine blood test, and my report showed that my bilirubin levels are slightly above the normal range. The doctor didn’t seem too concerned, but I can’t stop thinking about it. I don’t have any major symptoms, but I do feel tired often and sometimes get mild stomach discomfort. Could this be related to my bilirubin levels? From what I read, bilirubin normal range is different for total, direct, and indirect bilirubin. My report just mentioned total bilirubin, which is slightly high, but I don’t know if that means I should get more tests done. How do I know if my liver is actually affected? Should I check my bilirubin normal range again in a few weeks, or is one test enough? I don’t drink alcohol, but my diet hasn’t been great lately—lots of junk food and irregular eating times. Could that affect bilirubin levels? I also had dengue a few months ago, and someone told me that infections can temporarily raise bilirubin. Does that mean it will come back to the normal range on its own? Are there any natural ways to keep bilirubin in the normal range? I’ve read that Ayurveda recommends herbs like Kutki and Bhumyamalaki for liver health—do they really work? Should I be avoiding certain foods to help my bilirubin normal range stay stable? And at what point should I actually be concerned about liver health?
