Hi,
Your bilirubin level is just above the normal and does not have much effect on your health now. Your Cholesterol profile seems to be deranged.
Pruritis is also a feature of obstructive jaundice. Please get an ultrasound of the whole abdomen done to rule out any gall bladder disease and obstruction.
The underlying cause for pruritis needs to be treated for it to disappear completely.
Hope this helps you. Wish you quick recovery.
