What Causes High Bilirubin Level In Blood?

I have had my blood tested twice in the last 2 months and it is coming back unsatisfactory on the Bilirubin being high. I went to the doctors initially because of itching skin all over , this has been ongoing for a few months now- the doctors response is to tell me to get my blood checked again in 6months time thats it - should I be concerned, should i be asking for more to be checked at this time?
