A member asked:
Hello! is a total bilirubin level of 1.4 mg/dl considered high enough to indicate jaundice, doctor?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Jaundice occurs when the bilirubin level is high enough that people can visualize the yellowish tint to the white of the eyes or skin. Most use 3 mg/dl as the minimal perceptible level for "jaundice". Some people have a genetic issue where they run levels slightly higher than the general population. (like 1.4)

Perhaps you possess Gilbert's Syndrome, a minor genetic anomaly of conjugated bilirubin. This does NOT cause jaundice...
