Normal direct bilirubin and high indirect bilirubin indicate that the patient’s liver function is impaired, such as long-term alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis, liver cancer and other conditions.
1. Long-term drinking: Alcohol can cause damage to the liver, resulting in alcoholic hepatitis and abnormal bilirubin.
2. Viral hepatitis: if the patient has viral infection such as hepatitis B, it is easy to cause liver cell damage and bilirubin changes.
3. Hepatocellular carcinoma: If the patient has a primary tumor of the liver or a metastatic tumor of the liver, it may lead to impaired liver function. In addition to abnormal bilirubin, transaminases will also have obvious changes.
When the patient has normal direct bilirubin and elevated indirect bilirubin, it can’t be excluded that it is overeating and overeating, etc. The cause of the disease can’t be clarified by the result of this examination alone, and systematic examination is also needed, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to get medical treatment, so as to clarify the specific cause of the disease under the direction of the doctor.
