Brief Answer:
You can lower your bilirubin levels to normalcy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

Your bilirubin is mildly elevated.

Rest of the parameters are within the normal levels.

Exercises do not bring down the bilirubin levels.

I advise you to take Tab Hepamerz 1 tab twice a day for 7 days.

This drug has excellent activity against elevated bilirubin.

Elevated bilirubin in not permanent in your case.

Only sustained and very high levels(>10 mg% are known to damage brain and kidney).

Consult a Gastroenterologist with regards to above.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
