A member asked:
Heavy/moderate drinker for 1 year. 2 blood test show slight elevated total bilirubin of 28. ultrasound normal. is this due to alcohol consumption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Transaminases (SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT) rise well before the bilirubin. Several percent of folks always have mildly elevated indirect bilirubin from Gilbert's non-disease. Cholestasis from meds, low-grade hemolysis from marathon running can raise bilirubin. I'm worried about heavy drinking at age 22 rather than labs. This is a path that leads to a bad life and early, miserable death. Can we help?
