Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 37 year old male. I did my medical test two days before. My liver function test reports are not good. Do I have jaundice? But I do not feel any symptoms. Do I need any further tests?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

  • Yes, you do have jaundice. But the level of jaundice is mild. It can occur due to any viral infection.
    • There are two options:- Wait for 6 weeks and repeat LFT or straight away get further testing to know the cause of jaundice. Either way is fine but, I recommend the first option.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
