Should I Be Worried About High Bilirubin Levels?
Have total bilirubin levels at 2.4mg/dl and direct bilirubin levels at .6mg/dl also lactate dehydrogenase was 480u/l (I dont ever drink alcohol). Age 30 6ft. 175lbs, healthy. I got the third series of hepatitus shot about two weeks before blood test and flu shot. Should I be concerned or suspect to be in very bad shape due to these levels of bilirubin. My doctor did pass me on my physical with these bilirubin levels.

Hello,
I understand your concern.No need to worry.Your bilirubin levels are marginally elevated. Bilirubin levels normally range less than 2 mg/dl. As you had hepatitis shots,this might have marginally elevated your bilirubin levels.
Your doctor is right about that you are fit .
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
