What are the dangers of high bilirubin

High bilirubin may be caused by cholecystitis, hepatocellular jaundice, hemolytic jaundice, etc., which may lead to infections, jaundice, anemia and other hazards. Physiological high bilirubin caused by strenuous exercise, drinking alcohol, etc. can subside by itself and is usually harmless.
1. Cholecystitis: the bile duct is not smooth, the bile can not be excreted in time to cause high bilirubin, if not treated in time, it may be infected with bacteria and so on, which may cause suppurative infections and severe pain and other uncomfortable symptoms.
2. Hepatocellular jaundice: If high bilirubin is caused by the damage of liver cells and its function decreases, which cannot convert bilirubin in time, it may cause jaundice, yellowing of skin and sclera, abdominal distension and other uncomfortable symptoms.
3. Hemolytic jaundice: if high bilirubin is caused by heterogeneous blood transfusion, a large number of red blood cells are destroyed, and bilirubin can not be converted and excreted in time, hemolytic jaundice may occur, resulting in anemia.
4. Strenuous exercise, drinking: strenuous exercise, long-term alcohol consumption may cause a temporary slight increase in bilirubin, this is a normal physiological phenomenon, can be relieved after a few days of rest, generally no harm, do not worry too much.
