Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:
1. Your bilirubin level and ALP are slightly elevated. It may be related with :
- Gilbert's syndrome ( congenital hyperbilirubinemia)
- drugs side effects ( I ned to know your current treatment)
- biliary ducts issues ( rarely)
2. If I were your treating doctor I would suggest doing an abdominal ultrasound to better evaluate the biliary tree and hepatic structure.
Meantime there is no need for treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
