[|Human|] Ive had 2 blood tests in which my bilirubin counts are slightly elevated.  I just had another blood test this morning and I see my doctor next week for the results.  My skin, especially my back and stomach, started itching several weeks ago and I have tiny bumps all over my torso.  Are these symptoms related?
[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. My understanding is you may have itching if you have obstructive jaundice or conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. This is due to deposition of bile salt. However, any form of rash during jaundice should be evaluated as early as possible. They should be differentiated from purpura or telangiactasia. Furthermore, whenever an obstructive jaundice is suspected, any form of cholangitis should be evaluated for, because acute cholangitis is considered as an emergency. For the time being, you may apply calamine lotion over the rash for symptomatic relief. Please visit your doctor as early as possible. For any further query please write back.
