Indirect bilirubin of 7.9μmol/L is not considered high.
Indirect bilirubin refers to unconjugated bilirubin, which is bilirubin that is not conjugated with glucuronic acid. The normal reference range of indirect bilirubin in adults is 1.7~10.2 μmol/L, and 7.9 μmol/L is in the normal range, and the test of indirect bilirubin is to understand the function of the liver of the patient, to understand the severity of the patient’s condition, and to identify the type of jaundice of the patient, and so on.
Elevated indirect bilirubin can be seen in hereditary spherocytosis, neonatal hemolysis, paroxysmal sleep hemoglobinuria, falciparum malaria, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Patients who have normal indirect bilirubin but accompanied with obvious jaundice symptoms should further improve other bilirubin, liver function, ultrasound and other related auxiliary examinations in order to clarify the cause of the disease.
Patients can go to the gastroenterology department of regular hospitals for detailed consultation.
