A member asked:
All my liver functions are normal but i have high bilirubin, after drinking my eyes turned yellow (again), should i be concerned?

You have yellow : Sclera/ icterus from high bilirubin. A normal liver function does not exclude liver disease. Sometimes it may mean scarred liver/ cirrhosis .Get checked for liver, gallbladder and pancreatic problems .A referral to a gastroenterologist may be in order. Quitting alcohol drinking is the best thing you can do to preserve your normal liver function. Give us some feedback!

Yes, but only until: Only until we pin down the problem. Case does not make sense at present. We would expect to see elevated liver functions along with elevated bili in alcohol induced damage, but some drugs are capable of doing this. Does not seem like you can have gilbert's syndrome- alcohol is not typically associated with these elevations either. I think you need an expert and probably some more data points.
