Does Eating Fast Food Cause Higher Level Of Bilirubin In Blood?

I was getting a DOT physical and my urine test shows high levels of bili (Lg+++) and Urobili (8), He suggested I go see my doctor, which I plan on doing in a few weeks, My question is, does eating a lot of fast food cause these high levels, I eat out maybe 3 times per week, sometimes more. I should through in that I have hep. B. My blood pressure was good. I plan on not eating fast food for a few weeks so when I get blood work done there are no questions if that may be the cause. thanks

Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
thank you for posting query at HCM.
Increased Bilirubin levels suggest injury to liver, or gall bladder pathology OR common bile duct pathology OR hemolytic anemia.

further evaluation needed.
1. Liver function test 2. complete blood cell count
3. ultrasound abdomen 4. Hepb and C viral serology 5. lipid profile

advice:
abstinence from "Alcohol and drugs"
- LOW fat diet should be followed
- NO red meat
- vegetables should be ingested daily
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports).
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- walk 30 to 40 minutes everyday.
- or swimming is alternative to walking
- NO sports and NO jogging
-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks".

if any further questions, feel free to ask.
