A member asked:

I have jaundice, yes i am certain of this. my bilirubin only shows to level of 1.1. what could be hiding the true reading?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Jaundice: Your bilirubin would have to be higher than that to cause jaundice unless it was higher a few days ago and is on its way down. The yellow staining does linger longer in the skin or whites of the eyes. This can occur if you passed a gall bladder or bile duct stone or had transient inflammation of the liver. Usually your urine would have been brownish and stool clay colored. See your physician.
