A member asked:

My total bilirubin was 1.3 and direct was 0.24 my gallbladder has been taken out last sept. i do have a mild fatty liver. is the direct bad?

This is fine: Stop worrying about your bilirubin and be glad for good health. Physical exercise is often the best Rx for fatty liver.

Direct bilirubin: of 0.24 is normal. You should ask your doctor about treatment for your fatty liver, because this could lead to future problems.
