Answer given below
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
A/G ratio is more than 1. So you do not have any chronic liver disease.
You are having normal liver enzymes.
So this means you have hyperbilirubinemia only.
Without knowing direct and indirect component, it is difficult to say what is causing it as the causes are different.
The most common cause is XXXXXXX syndrome.
The following needs to be done.
1. Direct/indirect bilirubin
2. Reticulocyte count.
