[|Human|] Hello doctor, afew days about 10 days back ihad pain in my abdomen. Suspecting gastric problem i visited a gastroeterologist. After endoscopy and ultrasound scan of the abdomen were found normal, he suggested a LFTs. My total bilirubin came 2.88 mg/dl. My other para meters were also found to be high. I also had light fever with chill and body aches the night before. My eyes were light yellow and urine was very yellow with orange tint. Stools were very pale. However the doctor did not prescribe any medicine but asked me to avoid fatty foods and achohol. However I followed a moderate jaundice diet for a week. Got LFTs done again. Total bilrubin is 1.09 and all other parameters just on the upper limit of normal ranges. My urine and stools are normal colour except that iam passing stools once in 3 days. Visited doctor again. He said there is no problem and ican get on normally. No diet restriction or even on alchohol aslong asit is moderate. Now did i suffer from jaundice? If so what type? Was it serious? Can i follow the advice of Dr and eat and drink normally from right now? Will appreciate your advice. I live in India and am economically well settled and live and eat hygienically.
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Of course, it was jaundice. Jaundice is symptom when you have elevated bilirubin levels and your skin and eyes turn yellowish. Now, question is what was the cause of it. Well, good sign is that this is only transitory jaundice and obviously caused by temporary biliary duct obstruction. This is most commonly caused by gallbladder stone, and now it passed through, and you have no symptoms.  Other causes of elevated LFT and bilirubin are hepatitis, cirrhosis or metabolic disorders but if your ultrasound was normal u have no reason to worry about I only suggest avoiding alcohol for next 2 months. Everything else I agree with your doctor.Wish you good health.
