Can A High Bilirubin Cause Fatigue And Loss Of Appetite?

My daughter 28, weight 50 kilos height 1.55m has high bilirubin. Can this be the cause of her fatigue ? She is not on diet but eats very little. Sometimes she says that she is too tired to eat and just skips the meal or just nibbles on a biscuit. How can high bilirubin be reduced to normal?
Thanks

Hello,Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. i had gone through the data you have posted.
Jaundice can be because of two causes
Hepatocellular jaundice: where there is infection in liver so there will be raised liver enzymes as well as jaundice.
obstructive jaundice: in this there may be obstruction to the drainage pathway fro bile so this causes raise in bilirubun levels.

for differential we need to do complete liver function test and ultrasound abdomen.
there will be fatigue in both of these conditions.
kindly consult your nearest doctor for further evalaution of severity of problem and evaluation of etiology and management.
for now avoid oil foods, give fruits and vegetables, soft diet, UDILIV 300 mg

Hope this helps.
