What Causes High Bilirubin Level?

Hi I had my abdominopelvic ultrasound test done an year back which was normal. But today my direct bilirubin is 0.3mg/dl( normal range 0.0 - 0.2) sgot is 47IU/L (normal range 0 - 35) and my sgpt is 67IU/L (normal range 0 - 40). I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome an year back and was under medication after which my lft report came normal. Today I just got lft test done but values are high as mentioned above. What is the cause for this? I don t have normal bowel movement. Other than that I don t feel any problems. What other tests should I take? What am I suffering from?

Welcome at HCM
i have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.....
What is your age?do u gave diabetes? Are u obese? Have you done your HCV and HBV screening?
You have got deranged liver function which may occur in variety of conditions... In my opinion you should visit a Hepatologist so that you canbe examined and investigated properly.... Fatty liver now a days is most common cause but again definitive diagnosis should be done by hepatologist.....
Meanwhile stay calm
Get well soon
