Hi,

Among the liver function tests you have done only Bilirubin is higher then the normal range. It is the form that is not conjugated (not metabolized) that is higher then normal values. This can be caused by different reasons from bleeding to Giilbert syndrome (which is a normal variant with a little reduction of the liver enzymes but needs no treatment).

Your doctor needs to do further tests to try to find out the cause of the high indirect Bilirubin levels from blood tests to urinalysis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
