Hi
Thanks for asking.
In case of higher direct bilirubin levels, it's causes must be ruled out like obstructive jaundice. You haven't mentioned any symptom so I can't comment on it. Fatty liver doesn't cause higher bilirubin levels.
For fatty liver, no treatment is required. Exercise regularly or do brisk walk for 30mins 5 times a day. Eat healthy diet with low sugar content (esp. refined sugar). Maintain cholesterol and other lipids levels in a normal range. Be compliant to antihypertensive medications & keep a record of your BP. Decrease salt and fatty food intake.
Have a good day.
