My cousin is 21 years of age and is suffering from Hepatitis A for the last more than 45 days. All the tests on Hep-B, C, D & E have come negative. But his bilirubin level is in an increasing trend. His latest report says: Total Bilirubin - 24.5, SGPT - 43, SGOT - 107, Alkaline Phosphatase - 615. Is it normal Hep-A or could it be something else? Check Out the Answer

My son (now 2 years old) had jaundice as a newborn and was treated with photo therapy. His blood levels returned to normal but his skin retained the yellow tint until he was about 16 months old. Was this normal? My Pediatrician dismissed it with one reason after another until she finally said she didn't know. I'm reminded of this because he now has irregular thyroid levels on a recent blood test. Any correlation? Check Out the Answer

My daughter was diagnosed with Lucey Driscol Syndrome 24 hours after being released from the hospital. Her billirubin was 33 upon return to the hospital. The normal treatment was taken with blood transfer and photo lights for the 7 days following. My daughter is now 14 and healthy in all ways, with exception to a learning difficulty. She currently reads at a 4th grade level. She is very bright, doing pre-algebra in math, but just can not read. I am frustrated. Could this be connected to the Lucey Driscol Syndrome? If it could be can you help point me to where I can get some help. Sylvan learning centers are stumped and public school psychologist hasn't helped. Are there long term studies on these children? Are there other folks that I can talk with? What is your medical suggestion? Check Out the Answer

Question Category : Jaundice
I have a 3 week old daughter. Initially after birth she had 'physiological' jaundice. After some days a count of billirubin was taken and it had come down, but it is still not in the normal range. Could it be possible that the liver is still immature and needs to be given more time to normalize? My daughter is established on breast feeding. Could you please let us know what warning signs to look for if there is a need to be concerned? She is a full term baby. Check Out the Answer
