Should I Be Concerned About My Bili-Tot And Bili-Dir Values?
Did a 12 hour fast for HFP, LIPID PNL and have discussed the Cholesterol results with Cardiologist but I notice that although all my other liver tests were in the normal range my Bili-Tot was 2.4 and my Bili-Dir was 0.7. Should I be concerned? About 5 days before blood test I boosted my fiber intake by a lot if that changes anything.

hi.
noted elevated bilirubin level. are you experiencing any symptom like abdominal pain, yellowing of the eyes or skin, itchiness? it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. obstruction (usually caused by stones or tumor lesions) must be ruled-out. other diagnostics (such as ultrasound) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
