Brief Answer:
Does not seem concerning.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have carefully checked the attached reports. Apart from a mild rise in the bilirubin level there are no other associated changes and therefore there is hardly any cause for concern. However, the first thing I would need to ask is for the reason that made you seek medical attention or to get the tests done. The next thing to ask is whether you are an alcoholic and whether you have any specific symptoms. The third thing to ask is whether you are a diabetic and whether you are on any medication. Unless you are alcoholic I find no cause for concern.

I will wait for your response. Let me know if I could help further.

Yes I used to consume alcohol 4 days a week approx. Also taken protein supplement upto last month since gym goer. The fact for seeking medical attention is general/regular blood test followed by nausea by taking fast food. I am not diabetic. Only I am suffering from beta talasimia minor.

Brief Answer:
Try to eliminate the habit of drinking

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the clarification. I would insist you to try to refrain from alcohol. Your protein supplement or being beta thalassemia minor is unrelated.

Let me know if I could be of any further assistance.
