High bilirubin: sounds like you may have a problem with your liver if your bilitrubin is still high and you are yellow or jaundiced. Having Hepatitis A many years ago should not cause your current symptoms. You need to see your primary doctor or see a Gastroenterologist to run further tests.

Hepatitis A: Relapsing hepatitis occurs in 3 - 20% of patients 4 to 15 weeks after the initial symptoms have resolved. Cholestatic hepatitis with high bilirubin levels persisting for months is also occasionally observed. Chronic sequelae with persistence of HAV infection for more than 12 months are usually not observed. Follow up with your doctor is recommended.
