Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I passed carefully through your lab tests results and would explain that the only abnormal result is increased bilirubin level (total bilirubin 1.7 mg/dl, while the upper normal value is 1 mg/dl).
As the total bilirubin is composed of two fractions (indirect and direct bilirubin) and direct bilirubin is normal, it seems that indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin is abnormally elevated.
The reason for this increase in indirect bilirubin are several:
- hemolytic anemia,
- a genetic disorder like XXXXXXX syndrome causing slightly increased indirect bilirubin without other signs and symptoms,
- bleeding in the skin due to trauma,
- bleeding in the lung due to blood clot, etc.
You need to discus with your attending physician (GP or internist) on the above possible alternatives.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
In case of any other uncertainties, feel free to ask me again.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
