What a high Bilirubin Total, Serum means, and common causes

The yellow pigment left over when old red cells break down is building up. Above about 2.5 mg/dL it becomes visible as yellowing of the eyes.

Common causes: Gilbert's syndrome, a harmless inherited variation that is very common and worsens with fasting or illness. Also viral hepatitis, alcohol, gallstones blocking the bile duct, haemolysis, and some medicines.

What a low Bilirubin Total, Serum means, and common causes

A low bilirubin carries no clinical significance.

Common causes: Nothing requiring attention; it is simply the lower end of normal variation.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 0.2 to 1.2 mg/dL for total bilirubin in adults.

A common inherited quirk where bilirubin rises mildly during fasting, illness or stress. It causes no liver damage and needs no treatment, but it is worth knowing you have it.

The split points to very different causes. A raised indirect fraction suggests red cells breaking down or Gilbert's, while a raised direct fraction points to a liver or bile duct problem.
