Need more info.: Individual lab tests cannot be interpreted without all of the results and an understanding of the patient's medical history. I would recommend asking the doctor who ordered the test or a consult on HealthTap Prime, If you have the lab results and can upload them. Good luck.

Bilirubin and Albumin have both increased over the last two weeks with RUQ pain. All other labs are now normal. ALT decreased. U/S shows fatty liver. What could this indicate? I did fast 14 hours prior to labs?

A member asked:

Lab tests were normal including LFT. Bilirubin was slightly elevated at 1.5. During the first blood draw, sample was hemolyzed. I got a large bruise across middle arm. I had to return the following day to repeat. Could the bruise cause the elevation?

Bilirubin normal at 19 umol/l in one city but I moved & new lab has lower reference where 17 umol/l is normal limit vs 20. If Im still 19 is this a problem or do calibrate machines differently from lab to lab so different results for same sample? Tx?

Is 21 umol/l Bilirubin elevated? Lab reference says yes (17 limit) but internet shows all sorts of upper limits up to 1.5 (25 umol/l) and more. All other labs normal. What is limits in North America? Zero symptoms, just regular blood work. Thx?
