Title: increased bilirubin
Post by: shotis on August 28, 2007, 04:27:19 pm

has anyone ever experienced increased bilirubin while on reyataz, kivexa and norvir? The last time l had my labs done my consultant told me that my bilirubin was raised, however, he said l should no worry much about it at present,as others tests are still fine.

Increased Billirubin is a side effect caused by Reyataz. You should discuss your concerns with your Dr.

Newt's link explains it pretty well. My bilirubin has been a little elevated for years. I've never experienced any problems as a result.

If you're a tad jaundiced and anyone asks, just tell them you drink a lot of carrot juice.

HUGS,
