A member asked:
Biopsy shows signs of rejection but now his serum bilirubin is elevated what might this mean?

See details: Are we talking about a liver transplant patient? I am not sure what your question is asking. If a transplanted organ is showing signs of rejection, that is very serious. Meds can be adjusted and that may be all that is needed. However, it could be that the organ is ceasing to function.
