Answer
Hello.  I'd be glad to try and help you.  Normally when your bilirubin is high, other liver tests are also high, but you say that yours are normal.  This is a good thing.  Bilirubin levels can be used to identify liver damage/disease or to monitor the progression of jaundice. Increased total or indirect (also called unconjugated) bilirubin may be a result of hemolytic, sickle cell or pernicious anemias.  These are rather uncommon, but you may need further testing to determine if you have these.  I recommend that you check with your doctor.
