Harm of high total bilirubin

summary

Today, I went to the hospital with my grandmother for a physical examination. I found that the total bilirubin was on the high side. I didn't know what it meant or what it caused. I was worried about my grandmother's health. She was in good health and looked very healthy. So, what harm can total bilirubin have on the high side?

Harm of high total bilirubin

First: if your liver function test is normal, only the total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin are higher than the upper limit of the normal value, you need to check whether there are diseases in the bile duct and common bile duct. Usually, biliary diseases can cause jaundice to rise, and symptomatic treatment can be given after the diagnosis is clear.

Second: the rise of total bilirubin makes a large number of red blood cells in human body destroyed, which is the reduction of the number of red blood cells in the blood. The retention of indirect bilirubin in the blood will reduce the transformation ability of the liver, aggravate the symptoms of jaundice, and reduce the blood transfusion reaction, leading to pernicious anemia.

Third: the rise of total bilirubin will lead to damage to liver cells, liver function decline, so that indirect bilirubin can not be converted into direct bilirubin, and the bile duct in the liver is compressed, leading to excretion disorders, serious will be accompanied by acute icteric hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer and other diseases.

Fourth: the rise of total bilirubin makes the direct bilirubin in the human body can not be completely discharged into the intestinal tract in the biliary tract, leading to countercurrent into the blood, thus causing obstructive jaundice in the body, leading to pancreatic head cancer, cholelithiasis, biliary tract malformation, cholangiocarcinoma and other diseases.

Fifth: high total bilirubin is prone to obstructive jaundice, resulting in direct bilirubin bile can not be discharged to the body, easy to make patients with pancreatic head cancer, cholelithiasis, biliary tract malformation, cholangiocarcinoma and other diseases.

Sixth: the high total bilirubin indicates that the patient has hepatocyte jaundice. In this case, the patient's hepatocytes are necrotic, the liver is damaged, the liver function is abnormal, and the indirect bilirubin can not be completely converted into direct bilirubin, which will lead to the compression of intrahepatic bile duct, causing the excretion disorder, and the direct bilirubin can not be completely discharged into the bile duct.

matters needing attention

Patients with high total bilirubin, should pay attention to timely to the regular liver disease hospital for comprehensive examination, understand the condition, and then according to their own actual situation, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
