Hello

Thanks for asking question on HCM. You have not provided full liver function(LFT) test details, hence very difficult to interpret. As your physician said to watch my impression is that could it be ? Gilbert syndrome (affects about ~5% of general population) - in which there is a mild elevation of indirect bilirubin with rest of LFT being normal. As per your details of mass of blood vessels - I think it could be hemangioma, which may not necessarily require treatment. As you dont have symptoms chances of it being normal are high. But for me I would require your full LFT and ultrasound details to give any comment.

Take care.
