Brief Answer:
consider other liver function tests- ast, alt
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The bilirubin is slightly high at 2. Bilirubin is formed when blood breaks down, it is normally present.
It passes through the passages in the liver and also present in the gallbladder
Slightly high levels may not indicate a problem but the liver should be checked by liver function tests such as AST, ALT.
IF these are normal then the liver is ok and no further assessment may be needed.
The bilirubin can be repeated in a few months
If it was related to too much blood breaking down then your hemoglobin would be low instead of slightly high. It is 0.2 above the normal value of 17 so this is ok.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Thanks doc,
But MCH is at its higher range and RDW even crossed the normal range, if we take all these factors together does this shows some sign of variation from normal blood test results?
My Ast records are well under the normal range though.
please refer second attachment for the blood report.
thanks again :)

Brief Answer:
increased because of the increased Hb
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The reports are attached on a side and it is difficult to see any results further along the page, if you can , you can redo them so that the AST and any other liver tests can be seen
If these are normal, then you do not need to worry about the bilirubin.
The slight increase in MCH and RDW are because the HB is 17.2, slightly higher than the normal of 17
Please feel free to ask anything else
