Brief Answer:
May be due to hemolytic jaundice- needs investigations and Hemotologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and posting of hte report.
It specifically shows only two things:
High Bilirubin
low proteins.
Such a picture is seen with a few conditions like:
Hemolytic jaundice meaning where there is more destruction of the red blood cells than would normally occur.
Gilbert's Syndrome.
I would advise you the following:
Get the complete hemogram, serum iron/ferritin, Kidney functions
Repeat Liver function tests.
Clinical evaluation and examination by a MD Medicine (Physician).
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
Referral to the Hematologist or so as per the findings and get the early diagnosis for proper plan of treatment.
