Dear lybrate-user,
what you have is isolated hyperbilirubinemia.
Can you tell me your direct and indirect bilirubin levels.
Even if they are high do not worry except for hemolytic anemias all other diseases are relatively harmless or benign.
That is why we treat patients and not reports. So now tell me what problems are YOU having and not the reports.
