A member asked:
Is 1.99 to high for bilirubin? the other is 0.28. i have fatty liver and poorly function gallbladder could this indicate cancer? please answer

Need more info: If total bilirubin (bil) is elevated, you need to find out what the direct and indirect bil is - there are benign reasons for tbil to be elevated, such as gilbert's syndrome. Also ast, alt, alkaline phosphatase can provide additional information. Fatty liver does not usually lead to increased bil, so you need to look for other reasons. It would be unusual for only tbil to be elevated in cancer.
