Likely: Gilbert's syndrome (GS) is characterized by a reduction of a liver enzyme, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, which changes indirect bilirubin to direct bilirubin. Normally GS is not associated with serious consequences. Mild jaundice may appear under conditions of exertion, stress, infections and fasting. The latter can be used diagnostically, with a period of fasting, the bilirubin should be higher

Follow it: Gilbert's raises indirect only, usually. If both direct and indirect are up, this may be one of the other minor metabolic problems with bilirubin. If your alk phos is okay for your age, and your transaminases are not up, you can follow it. If this started when you began taking some medication, consider trying a different Rx. If your other labs are out-of-range, you deserve a good workup.
