3 days back i did a LFT and bilirubin total was 1.93 (Direct - 0.41 and Indirect - 1.52), i had performed the test after 12hr fastening , so is that a cause of increased bilirubin level ? or is it any major concern ? because the AST and ALT was normal. Albumin and A:G ratio was also normal but ALP was 194.
