Brief Answer:
No clinically it is okay.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Total bilirubin levels less then 3mg/dl has no clinical significance in a otherwise asymptomatic patient.As far as serum albumin etc are concerned see these are all protein which are present inside blood and are syntesized by your liver.It may vary even from day to day depends on your diet,Protein contents of your diet.So mild derangement has again no clinical significance.
Until or unless patient is symptomatic your reports would be concerned clinically normal by any Gastro.
Only thing i would suggest you is to go for ultrasound of liver.
In case its normal no need to worry.
You can add a natural supplement called milk of thistle one capsule a day.Its a potent antioxidant and a powerful liver rejenuvator.
If you are alcoholic give up drinking.
Thanks!
