weeks back my bilirubin count dropped down to 1.6 after treatment and diet. When I checked my lft test today the bilirubin was 2.5 ( indirect 0.9 and direct 1.6). Shot and Sgpt are 17 and 31 respectively. S..Albumin in 3.4 and rest in lft is normal. Also, TLC count in haemogram test is 10400/cumm and rest all is normal. I'm very worried. Pls help me out.
