A member asked:
Met colon cancer pt with liver mets . has enteritis so on antibiotics . fever , nausea and bilirubin fluctuating up and down... can this be liver failing ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: if the bilirubin is going up, then the liver is obstructed and cannot get rid of it and.. is failing but can be fixed perhaps by putting a tube through to the intestines. If the liver enzymes are elevated and the proteins the liver puts out (albumin and clotting proteins) are low, then it is failing.
