Brief Answer:
I have seen much more level but still benign

Detailed Answer:
Hi Aneesh,

I am sorry you did not provide enough information to give a satisfactory opinion. Any isolated finding that too on a lab test has no meaning for clinicians. You need to provide the entire test report along with the reasons why the testing was done. Did you have a routine annual check up or some doctor referred y8ou to check the test.

For the test result of direct bilirubin I have seen much greater values than 0.6 mg/dl and still benign finding.

Let me know your concerns.
