What will be the problem.And also i am in complete diet. Please give me an suggestion......... Thanks and Regards K.Harish Kumar 0000
Hi Harish, Looking at the clinical history and excess indirect bilirubin, i would think of hemolysis as the major cause. The RBC is being broken at increased levels, which is more than the liver load, and hence you are having indirect bilirubin in high levels. If you get a "reticulocyte count" test done and it is more, then we can suspect hemolysis. You can get the reticulocyte count done first and then further evaluation can be thought of. Do attach the whole report is possible Any further queries, happy to help again. Dr. Prakash HM
