Extreme rise in bilirubin 15 mg/dl
It has been more than 1 month, I got jaundice, lft show initially 4mg/dl bilirubin and sgpt and sgot were above 700, but after week they start to normalize, next few weeks all lft show improve in sgpt and sgot but bilirubin was on rise from 9 to 14.
At 14mg/dl I got hospitalised, they run some test like ultrasound, hepatitis b test etc, but nothing abnormal comes out in ultrasound, and hepatitis b was also negative, I see improvement in bilirubin, they release after keeping few days see total bilirubin was 13 and conjunctated was 10, so it was huge. But after week it keep 13 but indirect bilirubin increase to round 6-7. Contact doctor try to run some test like s. Lispase(not bile duct found).
I don't know if this level of high bilirubin can go down, because for more than a month I am following strict diet and lot of fluid to keep hydrated but at this point I am anxious, not found anything over internet with high bilirubin in adults.

The picture suggests prolonged intrahepatic cholestasis — the liver cells may have recovered partially (explains improving SGPT/SGOT), but bilirubin processing and excretion are still impaired
If no structural cause is found and other tests (Autoimmune markers, Hep A/E, ANA, LFT trend) are reassuring, this may just be a slow recovery phase
Yes — even with bilirubin as high as 14, it can come down fully, especially if LFTs are improving and there is no structural issue or infection. It’s just a matter of time and monitoring. Anxiety is natural, but you are on the right track with diet, hydration, and medical follow-up.
