Suggest medication for jaundice
Patient: Hi . I had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones. After one month of operation i got severe pain in my stomach . My blood tests showed jaundice at very high level . Doctors advised me for more tests like mri and various blood tests but everthing came normal. All the symptoms are of obstuctive jaundice but doctors are not able to find any obstruction . Now they are suggesting for hida scan . Its been one months since i have diagnosed with jaundice . My liver is working fine but my serum bilirubin is 23 mg% . Please tell me what should i do ? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM.Please consult hepatologist for proper cause.Treatment of jaundice depends on cause.If hepatitis, it should be cleared.Gallstones obstruction is also a cause but it is not possible in your case.Alcohol and some drugs also cause jaundice.Avoid alcohol and drugs causing it.Do USG, X ray or liver biopsy to identify cause.Do liver functions tests once again.Hope this will help you.Thanks for contacting.Take care...
