Watch and wait: If it has been high for years and is not rising you may watch and wait. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.

High bilirubin blood test 2.9 and high hematocrit 53% these are last lab. From 3 month high bilirubin, high hematocrit, high hemoglobin 17.2. Hemoglobin now is normal 16.9. Could it be polythcemia vera or cancer. Can high hematocrit increase bilirubi?
My 4 year old son had a "fingerstick" blood test which showed a hemoglobin count of below 9 (Dr. didn't tell me number, but it's somewhere between 8-9 from what I understand). He's going for lab work tomorrow. I'm terrified. His last fingerstick 6 months
On my lab work, one test said "HEMOGLOBIN UR: 2+". Can you tell me what this indicates? I was on last day of period but didn't see blood in urine cup.
