increase in unconjugated bilirubin levels can be due to a congenital enzyme defect. usually it doesn't cause trouble unless the body is exposed to undue stress (Eg: post major surgery) -- here the bilirubin levels may rise further. please do visit a medical gastroenterologist or a senior physician. he/she will be able to take care of this issue.
