It is physiological variant and does not indicates any disease condition.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
In some individuals the bilirubin levels are slightly elevated persistently, It can be also seen in some harmless conditions called “Gilbert diseaese” also .It is physiological change and does not indicates any significant disease condition.
In your case the enzymes are within normal limits and you are not asymptomatic also. So it is of no clinical significance.
You can recheck the liver function test after two weeks to check whether it is rising or not.
You can consult with a gastroenterologist for reassurance.
Wishing all the best.

Brief Answer:
It could be a XXXXXXX Not that much significant.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Most probably you are having something called “ XXXXXXX syndrome” or other related conditions.
There is slight alteration in your bilirubin metabolism and thus leads to minimally elevated bilirubin level.
In your case bilirubin in slightly elevated but you don’t have any symptoms like jaundice.
As of now no treatment is required and no need to worry about the bilirubin values.
You can consult a gastroenterologist for reassurance.
