Does High Bilirubin Count Cause Colour Change In Stool And Urine?

Hi! I am 53 year old suffering from jaundice since last 15-20 days. I got blood test, bilirubin count was 5.44mg/dL. Right now i am on a strict diet of sugarcane juice. My stool color is dark green and urine is dark yellow. Is it because of high bilirubin count or could it be anything else? And also can you please tell me how many days does it normally take to total recovery from jaundice?

Dear Friend, greetings from HCM. You need not worry YES the stool and urine color changes are due to jaundice . high bilirubin levels in blood will result in excretion of bile pigment s in urine and stools. Take more of green leafy vegetables, and fruits.
You will be alright in a week .
