A member asked:
I have a previous history of severe alcoholic hepatitis but all bloods have normalised except for raised bile acid, which is causing distressing all over itching. what could be the cause of this? thanks

Bilirubin: If you had jaundice and the serum bilirubin level is still elevated, itching would be common. Ursodiol has been used to relieve the itching. A hepatologist or gastroenterologist can advise you best.
