Hello, I hope you are well. It is important to know all the parameters of your liver chemistry, since you should consider the type of bilirubin elevation, because it can be either of direct or indirect predominance and the diagnostic protocol and handling of the two cases differs .

In addition, isolated hyperbilirubinemia may occur in combination with elevation of your liver enzymes and / or alkaline phosphatase or GGT levels to consider a possible obstructive condition in the biliary tract or some hepatolytic factor. That is why I suggest you perform a complete liver chemistry and from there make the right decisions regarding more studies and / or image.
