Will Spinach And Kale Intake Affect Bilirubin Level?

I have had a bilirubin level of 1.5 for atleast the last 5 years. My blood work showed 2.3 this time. I have added 6 ounces of raw spinach and kale to my diet a day for the past 9 months, will this change the level. Do I have cause for concern? I am a 55 year old female.

What is the indirect and direct bilirubin level? What about other liver enzymes like SGOT, SGPT, ALP, GGT. I think you may be having Gilbert syndrome where asymptomatic indirect hyperbilirubinemia occurs and doesn't need any treatment.
