Hi Hooth. When I had bilirubin excreted thro the skin I used to use a small amount of bicarbonate of soda in water. It seemed to help. If you've access to a tanning light the bilirubin is broken down. Might help. Good luck

Keeping them elevated and cool helps. Get her a bed block and a fan that she can run on her feet. Also: acqueous cream with 2% menthol. And some cooling anti itch spray. A bath with Aveeno colloidal oats may also ease it a bit.

May I ask-why is her bilirubin up again?

How stenuous is the medical assessment that you undergo to see if you can be put on the liver transplant list?

My husband is having the medical assessment for potential liver transplant next week.
