Is high total bilirubin serious?

High total bilirubin is related to the health of liver function. In modern society, many people do not pay attention to physical exercise, which leads to high total bilirubin in the body. Moreover, most people have little knowledge about bilirubin, so they often ignore physical diseases and make incorrect treatments. So is high total bilirubin serious? Let’s take a look together below.

Modern young people do not pay attention to physical exercise, and many of them are relatively fat. Bilirubin is a product of hemoglobin metabolism in red blood cells, and the liver is an efficient organ for processing bilirubin. As for unconjugated bilirubin, since it is fat-soluble, it can pass through the blood-brain barrier and have toxic negative effects on brain nerve cells. However, it is converted into conjugated hepatitis B by the liver and then becomes a water-soluble substance. Therefore, it is no longer toxic and can be excreted from the body through urination and defecation. Due to high blood lipids, red blood cells are prone to overlap, which will accelerate the destruction of red blood cells, causing high bilirubin levels in the blood. At the same time, since liver cells have a very strong ability to process bilirubin, your urine will be yellow, and high blood lipids will also affect the bilirubin test, resulting in a high result.

It also has a certain impact on uric acid results. In addition, you are currently in adolescence, and the cells in your body are in a period of rapid proliferation, so the DNA metabolism will be relatively active. The uric acid test reflects the status of DNA metabolism, so your uric acid level is already at its peak. If you add the influence of food, such as fish roe, these will make the uric acid level a little high. To sum up, if you are fat, you just need to do more exercise in the future.

If you are not fat and have no uncomfortable symptoms, then this does not mean anything. Perhaps if you test again after a period of time, your results will return to normal. In short, the relationship between the human body's internal environment and the external environment of nature is a dynamic relationship, and the result of a certain test is equivalent to taking a photograph of this dynamic process. The content reflected in the photo is static and cannot fully reflect the entire dynamic process. Besides, it is impossible for people to draw blood for testing all the time to "report" this dynamic process. Therefore, if you test again after a period of time, your results may be normal.
