I've just had some blood tests done, and it turns out my bilirubin levels are pretty high. I'm a bit concerned about how serious this might be. Can you please guide me on who I should talk to about this, and what kind of precautions I might need to take? Would appreciate any advice!

A high bilirubin level can indicate liver issues or other underlying conditions. It's important to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, for further evaluation. In the meantime, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and follow any advice your doctor provides.

I'm 22 and I've been dealing with jaundice. My bilirubin level is at 2.7, and I'm worried about whether that's considered severe. My doctor suggested taking Celyne for four days. I'm wondering if that's necessary or if there are other medications I could use to help with my condition. Can you help me with this?

Repeat liver function tests, and physician opinion is advised to the patient.
