thank you for posting your query.
High bilirubin has many causes: Hemolytic anemia, Hepatitis, Gall stones.
in your case, its most likely due to liver cause (hepatitis). Liver function test may give a better picture.
high BP in most cases, is essential. its cause is not known. Less than 10% there maybe a secondary cause.
high iron (repeatedly) maybe due to a genetic disease and needs further evaluation.
you are adviced to visit a hepatologist\ (liver specialist) at the earliest.
if any further questions, feel free to ask.
