Too much urobilinogen in urine may be a sign of a liver disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, or certain types of anemia. Little or no urobilinogen may be a sign of other problems with your liver, gallbladder, or bile ducts. Discuss with team. Google urobilinogen for more details.

More information is needed. What do you mean by high? The number matters. What do other serum lab tests show? Getting seen in person or virtually for full history, exam, and interpretation of labs (within context) is a good idea.
