Hello,
The low hemoglobin and elevated bilirubin suggestive towards any hemolytic anemia condition like Sickle cell, thalassemia, G6PD, spherocytosis, AIHA etc.
So you need to investigate further with serum LDH estimation, reticulocyte count, peripheral smear examination report and hb electrophoresis for further work up. You can revert back with reports once done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
