What Would An Increasing Bilirubin Count Imply?

Hello doctor, I have had jaundice for around 1.5 weeks now. After taking medicine, the SGPT count has gone down (~2000 to ~ 1000 to ~ 600) but the reports have Total Bilirubin count increasing (4.1 to 5.4 to 8.5). What would this imply? I am 19, 63kgs.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have jaundice with very high SGPT. You may have some viral hepatitis. It is common that in viral hepatitis initially there is increased in SGPT level. Later on there is increased in bilirubin level. And there is early fall in SGPT level. Your bilirubin level will decreased within few days. So don't worry about that. Continue your treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
