Hello and welcome to HCM,
Gilberts diseases is a cause of hyperbilirubinemia due to increase in indirect bilirubin.
Thus, the report suggests increase in both total and indirect bilirubin.
Gilbert's disease is caused by decrease in enzyme required to convert unconjugated or indirect bilirubin to direct or conjugated bilirubin.
All other liver function tests- SGOT, SGPT, albumin, globulin, alkaline phosphatase and gamma GT are within normal levels.
Medication need to be started/ continued for elevated bilirubin levels.
Stay in touch with your treating doctor regularly.
Thanks and take care
