High Bilirubin

[Vanguard]

Hi guys,

So along with a bunch of other test results I found that I have high Bilirubin

2.1 H (Reference Range: 0.2-1.2 mg/dl)

I know this is related to liver functioning. Anybody know about this or have a similar result?

Thanks

Elevated unconjugated/indirect billirubin only is gilbert's syndrome I believe. So glucoronidation insufficiency.
If both conjugated/indirect and unconjugrated/direct are elevated apparently (according to my doctor as I have this) this means likely glucoronidation overloaded.

I could be wrong on some of this tho ! Someone else might be able to clarify.

This is really common amongst ME/CFS patients, I wonder why it hasn't gotten more attention.. I seem to remember a figure as high as 40-50% of patients at one stage.

Bilirubin levels are increased when red blood cells die off and in cfs of course this happens a lot more than normal..
