Not everyone is getting the same out of healthcare. Race, age, ZIP code, gender, sexual orientation, or other socioeconomic factors cause some patients to disproportionately experience worse health outcomes compared to other people.
Diverse Health Hub is committed to exploring the social determinants of health, increasing cultural competence among providers, and raising awareness about the roadblocks to equitable care.

Gut issues for the past 6 months has bought me here. Been joining the dots. Spent weeks looking at UA-cam. You're probably thinking why haven't I gone to the Doctor, because he's incompetent. I will go back to my original Doctor... Long story. I've have been pretty well all my life I'm 55. I had full bloods done 1.5 years ago and EVERYTHING was normal range except Bilirubin which was high ( I'll pull my results out shortly). He didn't even flag it. I assumed it was my alcohol consumption. Since then I have had major stresses, poor diet, brother, mother dying, moving in to care for my father, he's gone now too. At the time my focus was on dad not myself. And if you're wondering my poop is all colours, mainly loose and thats yellow. I didn't think my body was capable of an array of grossness. Anyway onwards and upwards. Hope you all are doing well. 😊
how is that a high level explanation lmao
Is 15 bilirubin okay?
Yea Should 0-20
I was born with this and developed Wilson’s disease around 13 years old. I was found to have Gilbert’s disease and a fleischer ring in my eyes. I’m 33 now and am started to get high bilirubin levels again 😢
I never understood a damned word he said. Sorry..
A 1.5 level for the past two year should be a concern? I’ve never heard from my primary doctor after I get my results, always assuming that is ok cause they don’t call

Thanks to Planet Ayurveda Madhumehantak Churna, I feel more in control of my diabetes. Highly recommend it!
I used to be vegetarian and went vegan for a bit. I felt so sick and lost all my energy. I couldn’t sleep, was very depressed and I couldn’t think clearly. Went back vegetarian and developed colitis and irritable bowel. So many specialists and doctors and I couldn’t get any answers. I then added eggs and dairy back in, and I felt a bit better but still so many bowel issues. I saw a UA-cam talking about keto and I was so ill I thought I have nothing to lose. Added beef and butter back into my diet and I felt the difference in a couple days. Not going to lie, the steak tasted so good. On keto you cut out the carbs, grains, sugars and processed junk and that really made a difference but my stomach and bowels got so much better. Started sleeping better right away too. I then started learning about anti nutrients and plant toxins. WTH!!!! Oxalates, Cyanide, Lectins, even celery has toxins that can interfere with how our hearts process calcium. I think plants were really making me sick. No one ever told me any of this. I could never get any answers on why I felt so sick either. I’ve probably learned more about the blood work I needed from this video than I did when I was eating that way. I almost laughed when you said if you are enjoying this vegan lifestyle and way of life. I hated it, I feel 1000% better now eating eggs, butter, beef and good saturated fat. I feel like I was lied to and seriously regret what I did to myself. Thank you for a great video.

How much percentage sickle cell do u have
I was told when I was around 18 that my Bilirubin was high due to Gilbert's syndrome, and that there were no health implications. I do have some other strange issues like very low HDL and very high triglycerides, which make me wonder about liver dysfunction

I saw my doctor because I get pain on the right side of my abdomen. I took a blood test that indicated high bilirubin. I have to go for imaging next week to try and narrow down the cause. Crossing my fingers. I've been a moderate drinker for years, so maybe I'm paying for it now. I have trouble sleeping too, though that could be because I'm into intermittent fasting. Thanks for this video. It explains it a bit better. Pray for me all!

Great video, but I believe you're mistaken about the assumption that high indirect (pre-liver processed) billiurbin level means there is no problem with the liver. You'll also see this in Gilbert Syndrome.

I'm extremely healthy, have always exercised (lots of cardio), vitamins, very healthy food, etc., and my WBC has always been low-to-borderline low, and hasn't varied. So I consider my "low" WBC to be normal for me. I've looked into all the possible causes for low WBC, and none apply.

Thank You this was helpful as my bilirubin been elevated for awhile now. Dr going to do ultrasound then office visit take it from there
How did the ultrasound go?
Yes curious how everything turned out.
My bilirubin is 2.6 and I’m scared any advise anyone I am 30 yrs old and waiting for a ultrasound but been a nervous wreck since I got the call
Do you have high ALT or AST?
@@andrewm6087 alt and ast are normal my ast is 16 and alt 18 it just under bilirubin it’s 2.6 last year it was 2.0 around aug but my dr never called me until this recent blood test from last week she said everything is normal except bilirubin
@@user-yu3ry4ye2mif direct bilirubin is high then it is a problem with the liver.. If indirect bilirubin is high then it means that your red blood cells are getting destroyed too fast than the liver can clear. It could be a sign of haemolytic anaemia or sickle cell disease

My total is at 1.0 and I heard more than 1.2 is a problem.. 15 years ago I had a gallbladder inflammation and an enlarged spleen that I never knew of until now, could it mean I still have that going on? 🤔 I realized it isn’t from the red blood cell issues since my CBC didn’t come back with anemia so it must be from the direct one
