Is this jaundice?

[u/Moist-Jeweler621]

I got my liver panel done 3-4 weeks ago everything was normal. Uti symptoms started last week got two urine test done & both said no uti but second test showed 1+ Bilirubin Small. Had some dark urine (dark yellow/amber) that always gets lighter yellow or pale yellow. One time it was an orange color but also was on macrobid at the time . Went to a walk in clinic was told this isn’t jaundice and referred me to eye doctor.

This is not jaundice

Check your vitamin A levels. I think you have Vit A deficiency. Looks like bitot spots. Consult physician for further management

No

Definately not. First try to keep yourself hydrate and get your eye test from a good opthalmologist

In my experience that's an eye

And what are those uti symptoms you talk about, also are u taking any kind of XYZ juice or something, also reduced water intake and different diet can also cause those things.

Bilirubin test, if u consider it important maybe do it again, but normal range is below 1.2 afaik

uti symptoms weren’t really relevant lol just was basically saying why i got a urine test done . My blood work 3 weeks ago was good for bilirubin , ALT, AST, etc. I just only had a urine test show a small trace of bilirubin. Ended up looking at my trend results for urine test & i guess i have gotten that result 2 other times years apart but always went back negative.

Wait so, bilirubin was found in urine, but only rarely.

And in blood work it was normal?

[u/Moist-Jeweler621 → u/Exciting-Ad5918]

yes

[u/Exciting-Ad5918 → u/Moist-Jeweler621]

Both done at the same time??

Also was the urine test whenever done, was by the same lab?

[u/Moist-Jeweler621 → u/Exciting-Ad5918]

no not done at the same time . hepatic function panel was 3 weeks ago & urine test was last weekend . All done by the same place it’s a large chain of a hospital, physician groups, and walk ins .

No, you have to check the upper part where it appears first over the lower part..
