You don't say the enzyme levels (SGOT etc), but this is a very high bilirubin level. It is likely you have a rather serious liver problem. Since ultrasound has been done, apparently you're seeing a doctor, who is the person to ask. If uncertain about his or her expertise, ask for immediate referral to a gastroenterologist or hepatologist (liver specialist). Good luck.

Agree with Dr. H. Bilirubin of 7.0 warrants an investigation. If the bilirubin is conjugated/direct acting. it would indicate obstructive jaundice and not finding gall stones is a worrisome finding. Wish you good health!
