Urine Has Bilirubin, Low Levels Of Indirect Bilirubin. Taking HCTZ. Concerned

I recieved a letter from my Doctor that gave me my blood work and urine results since I just went in for a yearly pap. it said my Urine had 1+ Bilirubin so they ordered a hepatic panel to check liver function and the only thing they reported is the indirect bilirubin was .1 which was a tad low but PA said it was okay. They just didn't really explain what any of that could mean. I'm 30 year old female, the only prescription drug I take is hctz 12.5mg. I read online you're never suppose to have Bilirubin in your urine so it just concerns me and the dr's office is closed right now

hi.. thanks for using HCM..
you have bilirubin in urine and indirect bilirubin is raised..
this suggest unconjugated bilirubin is increased due to disease in liver..
you could be having hepatitis..
see your physician for the investigations to know the cause for hepatitis..
management is supportive.. change the diet with low fat, high carbohydrate diet.. multivitamins, liver enzyme preparations, and liver protective drugs like silymarine.
all the very best..
