What causes my high bilirubin and low uric acid levels?

Question

Hello doctor,

I was diagnosed with antral gastritis after taking painkillers. After that, I followed a diet and lost 29 pounds of weight. I also took some home remedies for gastritis and recovered within a few months. My blood test shows high bilirubin and low uric acid. The other results were normal. But after a few months, I gained weight.

After two years, I took painkillers and antibiotics and again lost weight. Even now, I have elevated bilirubin and low uric acid. ECG, ultrasound abdomen, and MRI brain showed no other symptoms. My stool appears like clay and is pale yellow. I have no other symptoms and have not gained my weight back.

I had a complete health checkup before all these issues, and everything was normal. Why am I not able to gain my weight back? What should be the reason for abnormal bilirubin and uric acid levels? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It looks like you have an acid peptic disease with elevated liver function test.

I would suggest you do the following.

If you are an alcoholic, kindly stop the same.
I strongly recommend you go for an upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy again, and if any suspicious areas are seen, go for a biopsy.
Take painkillers if needed.
Take tablet Pantoprazole and antacid syrup. Consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.
For elevated bilirubin levels, you can take tablet LIV 52 (Chicory and the Caper Bush) two times daily for three months

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
