Is jaundice ( causes yellow discoloration of the whites of the eyes)present? Your direct bilirubin is borderline high( over 0.3). If your urine is indeed brown, causes of high direct bilirubin include types of gall bladder,liver & kidney problems, dehydration, porphyria conditions. Are you having any liver or gall bladder issues? If repeat bilirubin still shows high.direct value,more testing nee
