High Indirect Bilirubin
I have recently done my master health check up. I found that my indirect bilirubin was 1.4 which looks beyond normal. My direct bilirubin was 0.3. Hence the rotal bilirubin was 1.7. Is it under safe level? Should i need to visit my physician immediately? Can i make amy lifestyle changes to bring it under control. I don't smoke or drink.

Slight elevation of bilirubin, if associated with any symptom needs to be investigated. If you are free from any symptom or any recent illness and in perfect health then it could be familial.

Physician / Medical Gastroenterologist opinion and relevant investigations.
