Bilirubin : Bilirubin is a normal breakdown product of the blood. It is excreted in bile by the liver. A level of 1.4 is slightly elevated, but not much so. A highly elevated biliubin would suggest liver disease. If alkaline phosphatase is raised at the same time, it's a sign of biliary obstruction. If the liver enzymes (alt ast) are elevated, it suggests inflammation of the liver.

Not : Not immediate concern, no, but your cholesterol and LDL levels are borderline high. Something to consider re your diet.
