Hello Mr Bajpai,
How are you? My name is Dr Suresh Raghavaiah. I am a liver transplant surgeon and I hope to answer your question today.
I am sorry to hear about your abnormal tests.But it is very difficult to come to a conclusion based on the facts you have provided. generally an isolated increase in bilirubin with all other liver enzymes being normal occurs in patients with hemolytic disease, where red blood cells are being destroyed at an increased rate. But this usually would have presented with a lot of other symptoms like gall stones, anemia, weakness etc from childhood itself. You will need a peripheral smear of the blood to look for evidence of hemolysis. Some times a small stone in the bile duct may also cause the same. Please reply back with all the reports so I can make a better diagnosis and guide you in the right direction.
