After taking the hormone, the total bilirubin dropped from the highest of 348 to 337 in two days (turning from an increase to a decrease), and then dropped to 266 in four days. The doctor asked me to leave the hospital and go home to recuperate. I will go back for a liver check in five to seven days. Function, blood coagulation, etc. It's not that I really met the discharge criteria, but I was hospitalized for 20 days. The recent internal medical rectification (can't go into details) is very complicated. In short, I went home.
I finally understand why my jaundice was near its peak a few days ago (up by 20 in two days), and why it soared to 70 in the next three days. When I came back and took a test, it was positive for COVID-19. The doctor said that viral infection will lead to increased liver damage, so I was unlucky. I had COVID-19 when my bilirubin was at its highest, but fortunately it was two positives. My fever only reached 37 degrees Celsius, and my wife’s fever reached 38 degrees Celsius.
Also, because I may have suffered liver damage from taking antipyretics (I took diclofenac sodium and ibuprofen during the two days when I had hand, foot and mouth fever), I will no longer be able to take non-steroidal antipyretics. I asked the doctor if I would have a fever in the future. What should I do? He said just carry it and use physical means to cool down... My condition has been much better in the past two days, but the hormone medicine is very powerful, and I am afraid that the disease will rebound later. For now, I can only rest in bed. This is what liver disease is like. You need to take care of yourself. I plan to recheck my liver function in a few days. If my bilirubin drops to less than 200, I will start writing again. I will write four to six thousand words a day to make myself less tired.
Thanks to everyone for your encouragement along the way. My life is probably saved. Although my bilirubin is still at a high level, the doctor also said that all my values are showing signs of recovery. If I did not suffer from liver failure at the worst stage, it would basically be gone. , I now take eight hormone pills a day and one pill a week. It is estimated that my bilirubin will completely return to normal in about a month and a half, which is what the doctor said.
Please wait for me for a few days. In your zodiac year, if you get through it, things will be smooth sailing. grateful.
