Total Bilirubin Normal Range – Why Is My Bilirubin High If I Don’t Have Jaundice? - #6344
I recently had a blood test, and my doctor mentioned that my bilirubin levels were slightly elevated, even though I don’t have yellow skin or eyes. What is the total bilirubin normal range, and why do bilirubin levels go up even if there’s no visible jaundice? Could high bilirubin be a sign of liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or something like Gilbert’s syndrome? Should I be worried if my direct bilirubin is normal but total bilirubin is high? Do I need more tests like liver function tests (LFTs), ultrasound, or a CT scan? Are there any natural ways to lower bilirubin levels, like dietary changes or liver detox methods?
