Should I Be Concerned About High Amount Of Total Bilirubin (1.4)?
Hi I just had my bloodwork done and a urinalisis. I always get a copy of this sent to me. A concern is that my total bilirubin is high. direct bilirubin was 0.3 and total was 1.4. I try to take good care of myself , I drink very seldom , maybe 4 times per year . should i be concerned?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
you should not be worried. you need frequetn bilirubin and lfts check ups and do live ultrasound. Alcohol is not the only cause of elevated bilirubin. it can be seen in various liver and blood diseases. if you dont have any symptoms you dont have to be concerned but you should do at least US.
Wish you good health. Regards.
