Avatar n tn My son 14 years old is recently diagnosed with hereditary conjugated HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA (most probably Dubin Johnson Syndrome). I would like to hear from similar cases. I am worried about his future & health, please post helpful suggestions.
Avatar f tn Is this still a possibility even though all my other liver tests, biochemistry and hematology is completely normal? I have since started to feel mild pain and discomfort in the upper-right quadrant. Many thanks.
446474 tn?1446347682 * Boceprevir reduced average trough concentrations of ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (Reyataz), lopinavir (Kaletra), and darunavir (Prezista) by 49%, 43% and 59%, respectively. * On average, reductions of 25% to 36% were seen in peak concentration of the three drugs, when given with boceprevir, along with declines of 34% to 44% in exposure (area under the curve).
Avatar n tn Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in term and late preterm infants. Premature infants are at greater risk for hyperbilirubinemia because brain toxicity occurs at lower levels of bilirubin than in term infants. As a result, premature infants are treated at lower levels of bilirubin but with the same treatments discussed here. Encourage feeding — Providing adequate breastmilk or formula is an important part of preventing and treating jaundice.
579125 tn?1251576265 icteric) is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin, the conjunctival membranes over the sclerae (whites of the eyes), and other mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels of bilirubin in the blood). This hyperbilirubinemia subsequently causes increased levels of bilirubin in the extracellular fluids. Typically, the concentration of bilirubin in the plasma must exceed 1.5 mg/dL[1] ( > 35 micromoles/L), three times the usual value of approximately 0.
2046312 tn?1360379600 A case series describes three patients who experienced excessive opiate effects of buprenorphine during concomitant antiretroviral therapy with atazanavir, ritonavir, and various nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Two of the patients had been on their antiretroviral regimen for several months and reported doped-up feeling, dizziness, and feeling high following initiation of buprenorphine 8 mg/day. The dosage was reduced to 8 mg every other day.
Avatar f tn What in the world is going on and where do I go next? Everything I read tells me it could be my liver and could come from drinking and drug and I don’t do either one.
Avatar m tn His enzymes continued to rise (SGOT 2179 and SGPT 2403 and bilirubin was 20). He was treated with pulse therapy with methyl predinsolone and his enzymes showed downtrend and gradually it became normal in next 5 days. His bilirubin continued to rise and reached upto 29.86. His INR continue to be high (between 2.6 to 4.5). His drain output was high initially but gradually started coming down upto 2300 ml. Presently he is in ICU and on minimal inotropic support (noradrenalin 2ml/hour).
Avatar m tn The highest ALT levels—often more than 10,000 U per L—are usually found in patients with acute toxic injury subsequent to, for example, acetaminophen overdose or acute ischemic insult to the liver. AST and ALT levels usually fall rapidly after an acute insult. Bilirubin http://www.aafp.org/afp/2004/0115/p299.
Avatar m tn If serious liver injury with clinical symptoms and/or hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice occurs during treatment with Vytorin, promptly interrupt therapy. If an alternate etiology is not found do not restart Vytorin. Note that ALT may emanate from muscle, therefore ALT rising with CK may indicate myopathy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Vytorin should be used with caution in patients who consume substantial quantities of alcohol and/or have a past history of liver disease.
Avatar m tn On 18th Nov 2013 my total bilirubin was 5.8 mg/do and direct was 4.4 and indirect was 1.4 and SGPT was 1920 / SGOT 1880/ AP 440. On 25th Nov my bilirubin was 12.01 and direct was 8.86 and indirect was 3.15. On 5th Dec my total bilirubin was 5.6 and direct bilirubin was 3.97 and indirect was 1.63. On 18th Dec my total bilirubin was 2.6 and direct was 1.3 and indirect was 1.3. But in last test on 30th Dec my total bilirubin is 2.7 goes high by .01 and my direct bilirubin is 0.
Avatar m tn The grade 4 hyperbilirubinemia seems to have been serious, since that person was probably yellow and most certainly was discontinued from the study (....and at week 2!!) The Grade 2 hypochondriasis...... I had to look that one up. : ) Hypochondria; they thought they were sick. Maybe that one wasn't so serious. : ) It is hard to compare.

243097 tn?1233755999 We came home from the hospital 2 days after she was born and on the 4th day we had an in home nurse visit. She told me she looked very yellow and took a sample of her blood. She had lost a lot of weight too and that was concerning. We got the test results back in a few hours and we had to take her to childrens hospital. If the doctors think he is getting more yellow they will take a sample of his blood. If you think he is still getting worse I wouldn't mess around with it.
1223953 tn?1267031036 One word of caution there... we also have Reyataz in the mix here. This drug often causes side-effects which may never go away, while Truvada tends to have little to no side-effects. Of those you mentioned, jaundice, stomach pain, nausea and loss of appetite are fairly common side-effects of Reyataz.

Avatar f tn About all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. MAVYRET and other medicines may affect each other. This can cause you to have too much or not enough MAVYRET or other medicines in your body. This may affect the way MAVYRET or your other medicines work or may cause side effects. Do not start taking a new medicine without telling your doctor. Your doctor can tell you if it is safe to take MAVYRET with other medicines.
Avatar m tn absolutely not, hiv tests have very poor sensibility and still use elisa method and can even be influenced by oxidative stress in blood, i d not test again snce the test is so unreliable but if you want to test again i suggest you to eliminate possible interference from oxidative stress by at least 5 weeks of: liposomal vitamin c and liposomal glutathione from livon labs, even if 5 weeks is a very short time this should lower oxidative stress to normal levels Factors Known to Cause False-Posit
163305 tn?1333668571 2% of low-dose treatment-experienced prior non-responders. Nearly 95% and 93% of patients in the high- and low-dose groups, respectively, achieved SVR at four and 12 weeks, while SVR at weeks 4 and 12 was achieved in 47% of low-dose ABT-450 prior non-responders. Six prior non-responders experienced viral breakthrough during treatment, and three experienced relapse following treatment. Among treatment-naive patients, IL28B genotype did not affect the likelihood of virologic response.
Avatar n tn I was wondering where the best place for me would be to find a complete list of medicines I should stay away from with Long QT syndrome. I have a list but it is over 5 years old, and I am in need of a new one! Thank You!
Avatar m tn --------------------------------------------- The water does help to keep the kidneys functioning properly and to get rid of waste and toxins so one does need to drink as much water as is recommended. The increase in bilirubin is due to the breakdown of red blood cells. See explanations below. Bilirubin is not a liver enzyme. Bilirubin is a result of the breakdown of red blood cells. Ribavirin causes hemolytic anemia (a destruction of the red blood cells).
1830047 tn?1321667793 Deck the halls, the walls, and the toilette seat...?! I seem to be the world's first (that I can find) actual mood ring. At the beginning of my pregnancy and again at the beginning of two very bad flares of whatever the blinky-blank I have my tushy turns the toilette seat a lovely shade of blue-violet-ish. You can plainly see where my skin touches (tush and legs). And no, I don't sit there perspiring. I actually have a very difficult time sweating.
