[|Human|] Good morning....I have been diagnosed with high bilirubin levels, I have a whole body itch, bumps that started out as 1 on the testicle then spread from the testicles to the penis, then the bottom, legs, chest and back. Can these bumps and persistent itching be connected to the high bilirubin level? Thank you
[|AI|]  Hi.noted history of elevated bilirubin, itchiness and bumps on different body parts. It is possible that you have an infection or obstruction (can be due to a gallstone disease or tumor lesions) somewhere along your hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree. This can cause the high bilirubin levels and itchiness (due to increase deposit of bile salts on your skin). Bumps may be a secondary reaction due to scratching or manipulation when itching, otherwise, could be dermatologist in origin. It is best if consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for complete physical examination and clinical evaluation. Other diagnostics (such as ultrasound, ct-scan, liver function tests, blood counts, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
