Probably not: There are several forms of hereditary hyperbilirubinemias. If there are no other symptoms and the remainder of the labs are normal would imagine all is ok. If still have questions, why not ask the doctor who ordered the tests? Good luck.

Blood result for bilirubin was 27. All other liver function tests were great though so my doctor said it doesn't matter about the bilirubin. Ok?
