What causes high bilirubin and high blood pressure?
Patient: Hi am a 28 year old Male I work out 5 days a week for 1 -1.5 hours I have been informed that I have high bilirubin, high iron and high blood pressure I am currently awaiting lab tests for liver functions I am in the army and my wife wants me to see A specialist. What could it be and should I? Doctor: thank you for posting your query.High bilirubin has many causes: Hemolytic anemia, Hepatitis, Gall stones.in your case, its most likely due to liver cause (hepatitis). Liver function test may give a better picture.high BP in most cases, is essential. its cause is not known. Less than 10% there maybe a secondary cause.high iron (repeatedly) maybe due to a genetic disease and needs further evaluation.you are adviced to visit a hepatologist\ (liver specialist) at the earliest.if any further questions, feel free to ask.Health professionals aim to diagnose properly and manage patients according to their limited knowledge. Cure is blessed by the ONE who Created us, whose power and knowledge is unlimited .wish you good health.regards,Dr Tayyab Malik
