A member asked:
If total bilirubin high with metastic liver cancer pt , but other liver tests normal this mean liver damaging / failing? and does it continue to rise . no bile blocked
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on: level of bilirubin, but in general metastatic cancer has a poor prognosis. Isolated bilirubin elevation can be caused by obstruction or hemolysis. Consult with your oncologist for specific details regarding prognosis in your case.
