My brother has 3.5 bilirubin in his blood, is he suffering from jaundice? is it something to worry abt, what is best treatment? any food restrictions?

It depends: By definition, jaundice means yellow skin or eyes caused by elevated bilirubin. It generally requires a bilirubin of at least 3 to be noticed. The potential causes are numerous. More information regarding the other liver tests is needed in order to expand on the potential diagnoses.
