A member asked:
Is high bilirubin a sign of liver failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: How high is the bilirubin and what type is it? High bilirubin can be due to bile duct obstruction, genetic causes, and also liver injury. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that.
