Welcome to HealthCare Magic
Hope you are doing good. Well the reports you mentioned are kind of confusing , Raised Bilirubin level indicates underlying liver disorder ( like viral hepatitis) . usually in UTI urine test will show pus cells. You should do LFTs ( Liver Function Test ) to get better idea. Simple Urine test wont give the better picture of high Bilirubin level. Haven't seen ast , alt in urine test.
I hope have answered your Query , feel free to ask if you have any query. Wish you good health . Regards
