Treatment and symptoms of Bilirubin total 7.2 mg/dL | Diet for high Bilirubin total level 7.2 mg/dL

Bilirubin total 7.2

High Bilirubin total level of 7.2 can cause a number of symptoms.

An abnormal total bilirubin level of 7.2 may suggest issues related to liver function, bile duct obstruction, or the breakdown of red blood cells. When bilirubin total levels are abnormal, as in 7.2, individuals may experience jaundice, dark-colored urine, pale stools, abdominal pain, or fatigue. This test is crucial in evaluating liver health and understanding conditions like hepatitis, hemolysis, or bile flow obstruction. Persistent abnormal bilirubin levels may require further liver panel testing for an accurate diagnosis. Various treatments exist, but the best thing you can do is start by changing your diet.
