Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this report and all the disturbing thoughts that this must have caused you. These results are normal (upper normal value of total bilirubin is 1.9). They are simply close to the upper border of normal but i will not be any more aggressive towards these results unless there is some other issue of concern. All I can advice you to do is to flow up and get a control in three months just to make sure there is nothing of concern going on.

Bilirubin abnormalities generally point to a problem of liver, transporting ducts(bileducts) or massive red blood cells destruction.


I hope you find the above information helpful.I wish you we. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for more clarifications and information if need be.
Thanks.
