A member asked:
Liver cancer patient now has high levels of bilirubin resulting in jaundice. is there a way to bring down bilirubin levels by medication ?

Cancer treatment: The elevated bilirubin is a consequence of liver cancer. The medications need to be targeted at treating the cancer and not bilirubin per se.
