Brief Answer: Practically within normal limits Detailed Answer: Dear XXXXXXX Thanks for the query. Most labs will accept a total bilirrubin range from 0.3 to 1.9 as normal, and a level of 0 to 0.3 for direct bili as normal, so those values look actually OK. Hope this helps wish you the best, Dr Brenes-Salazar MD Mayo Clinic MN
