Cause For Abnormality In Blood Test Report?
I just got my blood work results back and my blood platelets are at 119 with my bili total plasma at 3.2. Everything else is normal. I m a 31 year old male who has had a history of IV drug use and alcoholism. I have almost 8 months clean. I had a hep c test and hiv test about 7 months ago with negative results then. What could be the cause of these abnormalities in my blood work?

High bilirubin along with the past history of alcoholism and I/V drug intake indicates liver involvement. To confirm it you should get examined alkaline phosphate, SGPT and SGOT levels. Your platelets are 1.19 lac which is normal and does not signify anything.
Bilirubin levels also become high in jaundice so I will advise you to get complete workup done from your physician. I also will advise you to quit alcohol and drugs as they are affecting your health.
