Hi CS,
I have seen bilirubin levels as high as 19 in people how are suffering from jaundice, I don’t know much about how it affects on health, but it is a sign of liver malfunction and I am sure it is not at all good, if it is persistent, well also see the levels of SGOT and SGPT while evaluating.
But I’ll recommend that consult a doctor if person has constant high bilirubin levels, because Jaundice is not a disease, it is a symptom of other underlying illness

Hey Sarah,
Thanks for your quick response, 19 mg/dL is indeed very high, I am assuming that you have written total biliruin level, and not direct or indirect. It will be great help if you can let me know bifurcation of total bilirubin you have seen.
I agree with you that persistent high bilirubin is not good, also it’s best to evaluate sgot and sgpt and not just bilirubin.
Thanks,
CS

I had a billirubin of 18.5 and was hauled off to the hospital while folding clothing. Got it down to a 1.5 in 2 1/2 weeks, but came really close to dying. Accidental OD of Tylenol/acetominaphin… didn’t know it was the same thing.

Hello there,
I have been diagnosed with Gilbert Syndrome many years back. Since then had numerious jaundice attacks and constantly there is a yellow layer under my eyes. I have been noticing if I ever eat any meal rich in grease I get upset stomach or if not recently my stool color is yellow. I realize the only solution is to change diet (healthy). Just wondering if there is a medication that could keep the Bilirubins level low or treatment.

My billirubin level always between 2.5 to 3.5. But I am not suffering from jaundice. My doctor tell me it is a genetic disorder. Is that possible?
