My mom received 2 doses of kadcyla. However her bilirubin count shot up to 2.98 & is unable to continue the treatment. Can u help? ## From what I've read, bilirubin is a yellowish pigment found in bile (a fluid made by the liver). Apparently, it is normal to have some bilirubin in your blood. However, normal levels are reportedly in the range of 0.3 to 1.9 mg/dL The article below discusses various tests that are done to measure the amount of bilirubin in the blood (and what it means to have high levels of it): nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003479.htm In some patients, different types of cancer medication (such as kadcyla) could just end up doing more harm than good. So I would probably look at it as a good thing and not get discouraged by the discontinuation of the drug. ...

Med for bilirubin that is low what causes this ## Hello, Mary! How are you? As reported by the NIH, low bilirubin may be caused by several different things, including excessive vitamin C, taking some medications; like phenobarbital, large amounts of caffeine, seasonal depression, coronary artery disease and end state kidney disease. However, if there are no other symptoms involved designating a possibly serious condition, most doctors don't worry about and don't treat it. It tends to be self-limiting, especially if you take pro-active steps, such as lowering your caffeine intake, keep your vitamin C intake to no more than the usual RDA and quit smoking, if you smoke cigarettes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Results were low 0.2 Also absolute lymph was 4.20 high Vitamin D was low 14.3 Tx 2 tab q day x 4 days 1.25 Can you tell me do I need too have any concerns ## Hello, Mary! How are you? Generally, low bilirubin isn't a concern, most doctors don't even treat it, because there are so many different things that can cause it. Unless it accompanies other symptoms that may point to there being some other health issue going on, then it's nothing to be concerned about, as reported by the NIH. The elevate lymphocytes can be due to anything from an infection to more serious conditions, such as cancer. In most such situations, a doctor will recheck these values a few more times, a few weeks to a month apart each, to see i...

I am 28 years old and for a long time i have had problems with my eye. It always looks yellow and my urine is yellow but when i drink more water they both become normal. So I went to lot of doctors in london and they have also done all my evaluations including ultrasound, LFT, Hipatitus, but they treat nothing. Now my issue is never my skin being yellow nor do I feel any pain in my abdomen; no illness. I eat good, no weakness, a little fatigued, but my bilirubin is normally high in all diagnostics. No hepatitis was detected either. So is it symptoms of Gilber's Syndrome or hemoplytic anemia? Please advise me regarding what this is and how i can treat it?

Can medication listed in title cause liver (Bilirubin) increases? My Bilirubin labs have been coming back at at 1.6-1.9. Can it be harmful in the long run? ## The APAP is medication speak for Acetaminophen and it is very well known that long-term use of it can have detrimental effects on the liver. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? If you require a narcotic analgesic, you may need to switch to something that doesn't have the Acetaminophen in it. ## Get off that crap. Acetaminophen will destroy your liver. You're getting 5 mg hydro & 500 acetaminophen. They make percocets in low doses and with no acetaminophen. It is in the oxycodone family... but it is usually not teamed with acetaminophen. ## What are the long term implications of taking Hydrocodone? Has anyone taken...
