Well I think you need to add the normal values for your lab as they can vary. And discuss with you Dr who knows how much and what you drink and has tested/treated you for hepatitis. And felt your liver and spleen. And ask team about Gilbert’s disease.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, there are multiple issues, your cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides are higher than desired. You may have been dehydrated and Gilbert is a possibility. Wish you good health!
