Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Ok, this is strange, so I thought I'd better ask about it. I just got the results back from my blood test I took last Friday, and they seem opposite to what they should be. The previous test was from a month ago when I was still quite jaundiced, and since then my jaundice has almost completely gone away, just a slight tinge to the corners of my eyes remains. But, this latest test shows my biliary levels as being higher than my previous test, which would indicate I should be more jaundiced now, not less. Has this happened to anyone else? I am totally confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Trevor, The liver enzyme numbers don't always move up and down in harmony. Sometimes one number might go up while another one is coming down. Normally jaundice is normally directly related to the Bulirubin. If this number has gone up but your jaundice has reduced I would find this confusing, especially if it continues on your next test (which I would push to be sooner).

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I've had a fairly high bilirubin w/out being jaundiced (or not noticeably jaundiced). But for the bilirubin to go up when the jaundice disappears is strange. > > > > > > > I just got the results back from my blood test I took last Friday, and > > they seem opposite to what they should be.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Don’t know what happened to this reply, but it didn’t all come out ...here it is again... >>> indicate I should be more jaundiced now, not less. Has this happened to anyone else? I am totally confused.<<< You know I had an opposite thing happen with my daughter...back in late 2005 she looked yellowy even in her eyes...they didn’t bring her in to see her, they just sent her to the lab...then made an appointment for later that month...well, the blood work came back fine, and by the time the appointment came she wasn’t yellow at all...so they acted like I was lying to them or something. I know that doesn’t help the confusion...but you know I always questioned myself after that...were we all just seeing things...or was she yellow.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yeah, I'm thinking this may be a sign that while my jaundice has been fading, it's about to come back in a bad way. Does the appearance of jaundice tend to lag behind the initial rise of bilubrin levels? Either way I'm checking up with my doctor again tomorrow, as they should have decided the next step in my treatment by then. Wish me luck.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 My doctors told me that the visual evidence lagged the blood test. So unfortunatly for you that means that you will be getting more yellow. > > Yeah, I'm thinking this may be a sign that while my jaundice has been > fading, it's about to come back in a bad way.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Ah, thanks for the confirmation on that. I contacted my Doctor today and they are putting me back on antibiotics and planning another CT Scan. Here we go again, but at least I know what I'm dealing with.
