Hi and welcome to HCM.Thank you for your query.
Sometimes the only sign or symptom of elevated bilirubin is jaundice so this isnt anything strange. However, you should treat the underlying cause of jaundice.This can be viral or alcoholic hepatits, methabolic and autoimmune disease or infections. So,just be happy tll you dont have symptoms, this is good.

Wish you good health.
