T4 conversion takes place there,and the liver filters toxins,as I am like most women in my family born having jaundice and almost all of us have a thyroid disorder

She had under gone chemotherapy of 3 months course.Now she suffered with jaundice, and the report says biliary duct block and bilurubin level is 10.8. She is 58 years old and Diabetic patient. What will be the next level of treatment? Kindly advised us for next process. Awaiting for reply.

The doctor says that I have Jaundice. All other liver tests are within normal ranges. I have Graves Disease and have had my thyroid removed. I have circular red blotches on my chest that are real itchy. Recently my doctor raised my synthroid significantly. Should I be concerned?

I have cirrhosis. Been treated and cured for hep c at one year mark. All blood tests are looking good. Slightly low platlets. Have just developed ver bad burning hands and feet. Has anyone experienced this?

If you do not have symptoms of liver disease like jaundice, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and fever, I would advise you to wait for now and repeat the test after four weeks to see how the levels are progressing. In the meantime you can stop alcohol intake. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

If your report says that your bilirubin is high, then you probably have jaundice (jaundice is the accumulation of bilirubin under the skin) and some type of liver disease that needs further testing and diagnosis. My two cents. Take care and God bless.

t remove bilirubin quickly enough, causing an excess of bilirubin. Jaundice due to these normal newborn conditions is called physiologic jaundice, and it typically appears on the second or third day of life. Other causes An underlying disorder may cause jaundice. In these cases, jaundice often appears much earlier or much later than physiologic jaundice.

For the first two years I had an overactive thyroid and amenorrhea, but these issues have since been resolved. Tests (including liver function) declare me as being "normal." I don't understand why I look the way that I do if that is true. Please help....

when i had jaundice it started with the whites of my eyes and within 48 hours all of my body had gone yellow - within a week homer simpson had nothing on me!! i doubt you have jaundice but hope you get some answers soon.

Please get blood work done, SGPT, SAP levels for liver function, TLC and DLC for allergy, T3 and T4 for thyroid function, urine and blood urea for kidney function along with calcium and vitamin B levels. How old are you?

In contrast to hyperthyroidism, liver biochemistry abnormalities are less prominent in patients with hypothyroidism. However, modest elevations in serum AST and ALT have been reported in 84% and 60%, respectively, of patients with hypothyroidism[88]. Some patients may show low serum ALP[87], but their most characteristic symptom is ascites, which is caused by unknown mechanisms[87]. In addition, cholestatic jaundice has been described in case reports of patients with severe hypothyroidism[17].

Jules My wife also has the similar experience. Her Thyroid and parathyroid glands are removed and she is now taking supplements.Also, she drinks carrot juice every day and her palms and foot turned orange.

Hi there, I'm glad they are keeping an eye on your liver enzymes since you are on betaseron. They should run a CBC and thyroid too every so often. Sometimes they don't run the thyroid panel though as a general rule and you may have to request it. Doesn't seem they ranges are extremely out of the average, but none the less it's good Dr. is keeping a watch - though they should have called you and not the other way around. Seems to be the norm these days for many, unfortunately.

or just regular laziness???? i use to be healthy and very fit some 2 years ago when i was just 108 lbs. but i got jaundice and since then life is hell.

Well my son is a week old and the doctors said he has mild jaundice and they did some blood work on him , im not familiar with this my first son didn't have it cause i used formula and i was doing research and they said breastfeeding causes it ... now im worried should I stop for a while and use formula ?

I dunno. I've just seen a lot say they supplement with formula to clear it up faster or because the baby had/has jaundice and I didn't know if it helped get it gone sooner. She had it really bad and it kept rising over around 3-5 days after birth, and if formula might have gotten rid of it sooner then that would have been good.

My son had a jaundice problem id put him out in the sun and what really did the trick was giving my son formula was weird after I started that it started to clear up idk y just did

Bilirubin is the substance that can build up in the blood and cause the skin and sclera (whites of the eye) and deeper tissues like the mucus membrane of the mouth to turn a yellowish brown. It is the substance that makes our feces brown during the digestive process. So people with jaundice can have pale or white colored stools when the bilirubin is not processed correctly. Of course there are other medical conditions that can also cause high bilirubin levels. For example gallstone blockage.

My second son was born with jaundice. After i woke up from my csection and they brought my baby to my room they told me he had that and they told me they had to put him under a blue uv light and at first i was scared. But they said it wasnt that serious they kept oncoming in the room to take blood out from his foot to check.if the light was working. I was in the hospital for 4 days. When the day came to go home they told me he had to stay in the hospital that day.

Is your baby getting regular check ups with her doctor for the jaundice? New born jaundice should not last longer than 2 weeks, and if it does it could signal a liver condition that requires treatment, and you are at the two week mark.

My father presented with fever and chills n jaundice His ALT =261 ALP =375 GGT=558 serum bilirubin= 3.0 US abdomen-- CBD is dilated Liver irregular history of open cholecystectomy 15yrs back? Wht is the differential diagnosis?

t have jaundice at the hospital. He is now 12 days old and has slight jaundice. Is there any other way to rid of this besides direct sunlight? I'm worried about it not going away on its own.

Jaundice is the same as icterus, is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin, the conjunctival membranes :whites of the eyes and other mucous membranes caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the blood. It can cause Liver failures and other things, its treated with phototeraphy: Ultraviolet light!!! Is really important for baby to pee and poo really often so that way excess of billirrubin is taken out of the sistem.

Has anyone ever gone through this with their baby?

Any moms had babys with jaundice , how long did they last with and how did it go away. My son is 4 days and i have to keep taking him back to the hospital to get his blood drawn every day. Im just wondering if any other moms went through this ?

re jaundiced. Generally 1.4 is not elevated enough to show jaundice. Typically jaundice is seen in patients with a 2 MG/dl or higher total serum bilirubin. Your ALT is certainly elevated enough to warrant further investigation. There is something injuring your liver and further testing is necessary to diagnose your condition. Frequently doctors will order viral hepatitis tests to rule out Hep A, B, C etc. Aside from viral hepatitis there are many other liver disorders to consider.

I was suffering from jaundice and had high bilirubin levels 11.9. then it reduced to 7.8,5.6 and now it is at 2.2. it is almost one month and still it has not reduced to 1.0. will it raise again . i am having total control over food and water. i take only home cooked boiled food. will physical strain lead to increase in bilirubin levels.sSGPT is 78.9.
