Brief Answer:
No need

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The bilirubin level you mentioned was normal. Why do you want to take UDILIV which is inturn cause pressure on liver and gall bladder. I do not think you need to take any supplement like UDILIV.

Can you explain what do you want to know and whyare you worried?
